I have a situation where a web server needs to be accessible from the web, with little/no set up on the client side. No big deal, but here's the rub: The server in question is a W2K server running IIS, and just happens to run a mission critical web app (it's this app that needs to be accessible to remote employees). Of course, I'm concerned about hack attempts...
My first thought is to implement a VPN solution. This will suffice for some of the employees, but not all - we can't manage/dictate the remote configuration in all cases. So while a VPN will help, it's not the final solution (or so I think at this time).
Shawn, outside the office we go through PPTP to get to the mail server. This places us in the internal network when we are outside the network. Sorry, I'm not qualified to say whether it is a good idea or not, but maybe you or someone else would like to comment on it. Just food for thought.
