| | I was going to install remote desktop to play with after this thing went into service (server 2003) and IIS was not in the add microsoft programs. I didn't have mush time to read but I thought if it was installed or not it would be in the add remove microsoft programs. |

| | Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, Application Server details. Or you can use the configure your server wizard from Administrative Tools. FYI, Remote Desktop doesn't require IIS if you use the RD client. Safer that way too--only one port open on the router.

| Thanks again  I got a little time this morning and figured that out. I found all kind of toys while playing with a copy that will die in 14 more days. My problem is I cant access the router or request anything be done to it. I was told that remote desktop would cut a path right back to the server (through the router) without access to the router. I have since found a few more problems with things I was told by the same fellow. I will try to research before I bother you with another series of dumb questions & Thanks for the education so far PS: is there a way to get through the router without access to it without using VNC with nsc.exe & nvc.exe ? |

| | If you're trying to access this server from the outside, you must go through the router. No way around that. Port 3389 must be opened for Remote Desktop. RealVNC uses 5800 and 5900. (5800 is used for browser based access.) Not sure the ports that your version of VNC uses.

| | I figured out the remote access problem, don't know how secure it is through the government stuff but it works :-) I would like to use the file server as a real server. I should be able to use a 2'nd nic, let the router assign it a IP, share it as the gateway and use the 2003 as a server and take control of the other pc's on the network. I can use another switch and let the government junk (3 units) stay as is and keep them separate from my network. I would feel safer that way. Not that I don't trust some of the government people  Can anybody see a problem with this configuration ? |

| Using a 2003 box to take control of other PCs is not using it as a real server. While your configuration will work, I would be concerned about your company's security policy and whether what you're doing is grounds for losing your job.

| | Where is the problem there ? Wouldn't it be more secure to keep it separated from the things I have no control of. (people I don't know can access it) All I need is internet access for my system but to get that I have to use equipment I can't access & it want's total control of my stuff. I can keep security tight in house if I can use 2003 like a server. I know what it's being used for is not 10% of what it can do but it will do everything I need if I can keep it separate from the other equipment. If that presents a security problem I can't see I would like for you to let me know what it is so I don't cause a security problem worse that I have to live with now. PS: I just read your reply again and if "the company's security policy" problem is with the remote access then that's no problem. One s/w vender needs access through dialup, if I need in all I have to do is call one office and have them load a program tell me the IP & use his station to access the server and save lots of time & gas money. It's not fast but it's handy. NEVER screw with a government setup, they have no sense of humor ! |
