Migration Step Twenty Seven: Setting the computers

Now comes the cool part where you can set up the user to access the computer, and limit their view of RWW computers in the Remote Web Workplace.  Then on top of that you can make the decision to take away administrator rights.

If you have older line of business apps, you can use things like group policy to push out permissions adjustments  - https://msmvps.com/media/p/1618966.aspx   

Now I have a real computer and then I have an XP in a vmware that I can turn on and access via RWW.  So that's why I'm giving myself remote access to both.

In the remote access tab I put in the computer that I'll access the most

 

 And don't forget to check the folder quotas and turn them off if that's not your thing.

Map permitted computers to user accounts

In Windows SBS 2003, if a user connects to Remote Web Workplace, all computers in the network are displayed. This may include computers that the user does not have access rights to. In Windows SBS 2008, a user must be explicitly assigned to a computer for it to be displayed in Remote Web Workplace. Each user account that is migrated from Windows SBS 2003 must be mapped to one or more computers.

To map user accounts to computers

1.   Open the Windows SBS Console.

2.   In the navigation bar, click Users and Groups.

3.   In the list of user accounts, right-click a user account, and then click Edit user account properties.

4.   Click the Computers tab, and then assign one or more client computers to the user account. You can also set the local access rights on each client computer.

5.   Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each user account.

After mapping user accounts to client computers, you can set a default computer for remote access. Go to the Remote Access tab, and then, in the user account properties, set a default client computer for each user who needs to access the network remotely.
