The Remote Web Workplace is a feature of Microsoft's Windows Small Business Server and the yet-to-be-released midsize business-focused product, Windows Essential Business Server, which enables pre-created users to log in to a front-end network-facing interface of the small business server.

After logging in to Remote Web Workplace (using their usual username and password) a user can access enabled features of the Small Business Server or Essential 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 a Small Business Server or Essential Business Server network.




Offsite Access

Remote Web Workplace is a convenient feature of Windows Small Business Server and Windows Essential Business Server as it allows 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 sitting in front of it.

Connection Options

When logging in to Remote Web Workplace, users can select the speed of their connection which then optimizes the connection features. Options are: Small Business Network (Intranet), Broadband, 56 kbit/s modem and 28 kbit/s Modem.

Means of Access

The Remote Web Workplace is accessed through a web browser. The URL is https://dnsregisterrednameofserver/remote or https://ipaddressofserver/remote.
