2008 RWW type app?

Hello,

Just wondering if there's a way to get RWW functionality from a
Windows 2008 Standard 64 bit install.

Thanks,

Jer

That's a built in functionality/feature of SBS, so no, I don't believe that
is possible at all. Microsoft has never released that as a separate
installation package.

Thanks for the response Ace. Maybe I explained my situation wrong.

I'm basically looking for a way to remote into the 2008 server and
then to another desktop in the domain, is there functionality in 2008
server standard to do this, or some other utility / app available?

I see. That's pretty much what the RWW does. It's basically 'proxying' the
request internally. No, sorry, I don't know of any third party solutions
that provide that function.

Most non-SBS setups simply offer VPN access, so the users VPN in, then can
directly access their desktop. I would suggest a hardware VPN solution, such
as a Cisco ASS 5505 or larger (depending on your network usage).

Otherwise, I knew of one IT guy that did it for one of his customer by
changing the default RDP port on each desktop, and provided each individual
user with the port number for their desktop and instructions to use RDP with
the non-default port to only access their own machines, and opened that port
in the firewall to that specific workstation. Of course that woud require
the desktops to be statically configured instead of DHCP (or reservations)
so they don't change IPs, and the port remap works.
