Re: Remote Administration
Hi Shannon, take a look at http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=470 its a superb product, quick and fast and reliable, quite cheap as well -- Best regards, Gareth, MCP mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Friday, September 21, 2001, 1:38:13 PM, you wrote: SS I am needing to get a solution in place today to connect W2K Pro workstation SS via the internet to a W2K Server (not advanced server).

Re: Remote Administration
Terminal Services. Set it up using add/remove programs-add/remove windows components. Select Ts, click OK and check Remote Administration. The user needs to log in with a userid that's a member of the local Administrators group, but that's what you seem to want anyway. It can use encryption. Grades are Basic - 40 bit, Strong - 56 bit and Strongest - 128 bit. Search MSKB for articles - it's easy to set up and use. Just open up TCP port 3389 on your fw. All you need on the client is a TS client. Either d/l the TSAC or use TS Client Creator on the server to create a floppy that installs on the client. Oh and BTW - did I mention that it's fast as well ? Søren A snip I am needing to get a solution in place today to connect W2K Pro workstation via the internet to a W2K Server (not advanced server).

RE: Remote Administration
Title: Remote Administration That was a typo. I meant to say that we have installed the licenses and are able to connect via Secure Remote. I have used Phone Boy very often. You are right. It is also a very helpful site. I will give it another look. Thanks a bundle for the info. It has been very useful. SS -Original Message-From: Kevin Lundy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 8:40 AMTo: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: RE: Remote Administration Shannon, others have addressed the remote administration aspect. Let me address FW1. Yes, MS VPN can be made to work, but it's very difficult. You say you have "SecureRemote client working ON the FW"? Is that a typo? The SecureRemote client does not belong on the FW itself. You enter a SecureRemote license key on the FW, and install the client software on the client. When you make a connection, it does "just sit there". Sort of like an old fashioned modem connection. Once you get the connection, that is all you have. Then you have to do something. So you would make a SecureRemote connection, and then fire up the Terminal Service client. The advantage of this is that you don't have to open the terminal service ports to the entire internet. Head over to http://www.phoneboy.com where you will find the FW1 FAQ (much better than even Checkpoint's). You will also find 2 links to 2 different mailing lists for FW1 support. The folks there are just as helpful as the folks on this list. -Original Message-From: Shannon Speck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 8:38 AMTo: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: Remote Administration I am needing to get a solution in place today to connect W2K Pro workstation via the internet to a W2K Server (not advanced server).

RE: Remote Administration
Title: Remote Administration I have already installed it and it works great. Thanks for all the replies. This is something I had not looked into yet. I am still working with NT 40 and have never used Terminal Server. I get to work this morning and the boss wanted this done today. (We have one 2000 Server built as a DC for testing, this is what I used) I did not have time to go do research. The replies I received saved the day!! Now I can go out and read/learn about what the h--- Ijust did. Isn't IT great.
