Remote Working Enabled by Windows Small Business Server 2008
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2009/09/28/remote-working-enabled-by-windows-small-business-server-2008.aspx

Just a follow up to this. Recently someone stated that they had called Microsoft support and they had stated that after the installation of IE8 that RWW was no longer a viable technology. Nothing could be farther than the truth.

You do have to put the RWW web site in the trusted site zone. You may need to click on the reset IE and blow off cookies/passwords, etc to reset the IE so that it will enable the ActiveX properly. Check out the information on www.fixmyrww.com for details on how to reset this.

But bottom line, no matter if you have XP sp3, IE8, Vista, Win7, you name it, it STILL WORKS.

Before you just blow that blog post off as being command line stuff you don't care about... consider that if you used a Vista especially early on pre SP1, you probably did that netsh command to connect to a hotel -- Steve Riley on Security : Windows Vista vs. hotels:
http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/archive/2006/11/21/windows-vista-vs-hotels.aspx (In my case I didn't do that as I couldn't get out to the Internet to remember the commands on the blog post and had to use my aircard instead).

Or you may have read this blog post --netsh int tcp set glo aut=dis to you too! - THE OFFICIAL BLOG OF THE SBS "DIVA":

http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2008/01/25/when-putting-a-vista-computer-on-a-sbs-2003-network.aspx

Honestly I've not seen this byproduct, but I've only done this setting on a Vista, never to a SBS 2008 box. But yeah if you've read any of my "how to put a Vista on a SBS network" in the last three years, you might want to examine which computers you did that to.

You can install SBS 2008 underneath a hyperV server.. what you can't do is install the HyperV role on it and host OS's on it.

Well it looks to be an interesting World Wide Partner Conference, if rumors are true Windows 7 will officially RTM, Office web apps may try to steal some of Google Chrome OS thunder, and don't forget to follow http://www.facebook.com/WindowsSBS and http://twitter.com/windowsSBS and http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/wpc09 What goes on in New Orleans... some of it blog and share...the REST use for blackmail purposes. To this day I hear little bits of stories of New Orleans in 2003 when SBS 2003 launched and how.... uh.... hmmmm... nevermind, I want to use that for blackmail later on.
