Can somebody give me some guidance on how I go about setting up Terminal Services/Remote Desktop.

Hi

Can somebody give me some guidance on how I go about setting up Terminal
Services/Remote Desktop.

I have a Windows 2000SBS (with ISA) and I want to setup a workstation within
the LAN for remote access.

The server is configured with 2 NIC, Internal & External, the external goes
to a router for internet access (DSL).

My goal is for a remote user to connect to the workstation over the internet
using FQDN like WRK01.DomainName.com

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Barry

Let me see if I get this straight:

-You have a Windows XP Pro workstation inside an SBS domain.
-You have ISA installed on SBS with 2NICs and you have the firewall client
installed.
-You want to initiate a RDP session from somewhere on the internet to that
workstation.

If it were me... I would do a VPN first to the server and then access the
workstation like if you were inside the lan. Or upgrade to SBS2003 and use
RWW instead.

However, if you really want to do this you need to publish the TS "server"
(workstation). First open the ISA console (Start->Programs->MS ISA Server->
ISA Management->Servers and Arrays-> %servername%):

1) Create a new protocol definition for Terminal Server (using TCP 3389
Inbound)... unless you have this already (I don't think it exists for
inbound by default). Policy Elements-> Protocol Definitions-> New

2) Publish the server... you can do this by running the Server Publishing
Wizard (Publishing-> right-click Server Publishing Rules-> New-> Rule).
Follow the Wizard instructions... you will need to enter the IP address of
the Win2k Server, and select the protocol created on #1 from the list.

3) If you have a Firewall/Router in front of ISA make sure that you forward
TCP 3389 to the external interface of the SBS box.

Note1: If you already have 3389 open for accessing the server you will need
either change the port number to use a non-standard one or get a 2nd public
IP from your ISP.

Note2: If you want to access it via workstation.yourdomain.com you need to
ask your ISP to create that A record for you.

I hope this helps!

Can you help.

I did the necessary configuration and when connected I got on to the
Server.

I tried using a different port (7100) and received an error when connecting
using WRK01.DomainName.com:7100

Hi Barry!

There are many things could have gone wrong with this... but my gut instinct
tells me that is probably one of these issues:

1) If you have a router in front of ISA then remember to forward port 7100.

2) You didn't change the port number that the workstation listens for RPC to
7100 (although, I'm pretty sure ISA can redirect the request to 3389 even if
it comes from another port... I just don't know how it goes). Check this KB
for the details:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=306759

3) Remember to give the workstation a DHCP reservation... ISA works by IP,
so if the workstation's IP changes you will not be able to get to it.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Barry,

Just assisting Javier on this, but you have tried from within the network
too and that works?

Thanks Javier

All is now working.

The problem was me, your instructions was perfect.

I did not re-start the ISA server.

just a minor correction on this one

by publishing an internal server you can connect to it then RDP to the SBS,
no 2nd IP nor non-standard port required.

We VPN in to the network and then Remote Desktop to the client machine.
Don't know of a way to get through with a fully qualified domain name.
Sounds like your best bet is an upgrade to SBS 2003 and RWW.

HTH,

Doug
