Unable to connect to computer (Remote Web Workplace SBS 2008) using Win7 Home Premium
I'm trying to connect to an office computer in a domain using Remote Web Workplace using a laptop with Win7 Home Premium from remote. I'm able to access the "Remote Web Workplace" window but when I try to "Connect to a Computer" from the listed computer, it hangs on a blank pop-up window "Windows Small Business Server 2008" Note1: I'm able to access the Server directly (from the Remote Laptop) using the remote destop connection, and I'm able to access the computer in question via the SBS Console and selecting remote access. Note2: I'm also able to access the remote computer from a WinXP Pro computer. FYI - when I select the computer from the computer list, it presents me with dialog box" saying "A website wants to start a remote connection..." I'm not sure if there is some settings on the Win7 Home P" or Internet security that need to be tweaked or what? Help directions greatly appreciated

Posting an interesting follow-upI'm using Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit( and trying to access the office computer.I naturally select Internet Explorer and enter the URL to access the remote "Web Work Place" - when I attempt to connect to a computer defiend in the list the "Remote Destop" window pops up and hangs.1) I Found in Program files two versions of Internet Explorer (one is the 64 bit version)2) so when I select "Start" "All Programs" Internet Explorer (64 Bit) - then enter the remote URL and connect to the computer I now get the "Remote Desktop Connection" window -with a message "A website wants to start a remote connection" and I click connect and I'm in.Note: When I do help about on the Internet Explorer - It says I'm IE8 64 bit3) When I "send as a Shortcut" to the desktop and run it from there - I get the same issue as before - the inital window hangs and does not get to the one that says "A website wants to start a remote connection...."Note When I look at the help on the IE8 - is does not say 64 bit. (So it appears to be defaulting to IE 8 86 version.4) When I "Pin" the internet explorer IE8 to the task bar and run it from there and selectmy url from favourites or entered link I am able to connect.Appears the issue is with running the non-64 bit IE8 and the inability to save the link on the desktop as the 64 Bit Veriosn if IE.Thoughts??

Dear bro, How do I use Outlook Anywhere if you are using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007, you can connect to the computer that is running Windows Small Business Server 2008 through the Internet by using the feature called Outlook Anywhere (also known as RPC over HTTP). This means you can remotely access your e-mail account on your server from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall. You do not need security-related hardware or software (such as smart cards or security tokens), and you do not have to establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection to the server. Comparing Outlook Anywhere and Outlook Web Access When you use Outlook Anywhere to access your mailbox, you get the full functionality of Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. For example, you can work offline, use Microsoft Office Word as your e-mail editor, and easily organize your mailbox. Note:- If you are using Outlook 2007 to access your e-mail messages, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Outlook 2007 should automatically configure all settings after you enter your e-mail address when you are creating your e-mail profile. (Outlook uses e-mail profiles to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored). If you are using Outlook 2003 to access your e-mail messages, you should manually configure the Outlook settings by following the step-by-step instructions in this document. To use Outlook via the Internet Ensure that the following requirements have been met on the client computer: Verify that the computer is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later Ø Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.{The version of the operating system and service pack is displayed under System.

Ø . Under Currently installed programs, search for the item Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q331320.

In this case, continue with step 1 under Ensure that you have an Outlook profile configured for the server. Ø If the certificate is not trusted, a warning appears. For detailed information about installing the self-signed certificate on a computer, open your organization's Internal Web site, and then under Announcements, click Install the server's security certificate on your remote computer.

Ø In the Mail dialog box, if Always use this profile is selected, choose the newly configured profile. Ø Open Outlook and type your Windows SBS user name (in the format DCPL\user name) and password. You can now work with your Outlook mailbox. Network Administrator
