Microsoft Remote Web Workplace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Remote Web Workplace is a feature of Microsoft's Windows Small Business Server which enables pre-created users to log in to a front-end network-facing interface of the small business server.

After logging in to Remote Web Workplace (using their usual username and password) a user can access enabled features of the small business server such as Outlook Web Access, viewing of SharePoint pages and (if a machine is running and allows it) full remote control of client machines connected to the small business server.

[edit] Offsite Access

Remote Web Workplace is a convenient feature of Windows Small Business Server as it allows easy access for users to facilities when they are offsite such as email, reading/modifying shared calendars and remote controlling a machine as if they are sitting in front of it.

[edit] Connection Options
