Microsoft Remote Web Workplace
Remote Web Workplace.
The Remote Web workplace is a feature of Microsoft's Windows_Small_Business_Server which enables pre-created users to log in to a front-end network-facing interface of the Small Business Server.
After loging in to the Remote Web Workplace (using their usual username and password) a user can access enabled features of the small business server such as Outlook Web Access, viewing of sharepoint pages and (if a machine is running and allows it) full remote control of client machines connected to the small business server.
Offsite Access
The remote web workplace is one of the "wow" features of small business server as it allows very easy access for users to facilities when they are offsite such as email, reading/modifying shared calendars and remote controlling a machine as if they are sat in front of it. Hence it is one of the major selling points for a small business server upgrade when compared to a standard windows server installation.
