To ALL,

I am at client "A" who is running SBS2K with ISA and have another unrelated
client(client "B") who is running SBS2K w/ISA. They are completely different
companies.

I would like to use remote desktop connections to access client "A" from
client "B" for offsite support and visa versa.

Do I need to make any access policies in ISA or open any ports on the
routers?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rick!

You want to access the server or the workstations (or both)? If you want to
access the server you might want to consider publishing 3389 via ISA.
However, if you plan to connect to more than one resource then I suggest you
VPN first into the other box. Here are the instrucions on how to setup the
server for VPN in SBS2k w/ ISA->

How do I configure the server for remote access

How do I connect clients to the server using VPN?
http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=109


As a side note-> Probably posting to
microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000 would have been more than enough.

Rick,

You need to open tcp/3389 on both ends. Your edge router from ISP
probally has these ports open however in ISA you will need to create a
rulle for this traffic.

hth,
