Hey friends, today am not here to ask any question but to provide some tips for accessing Windows XP workstations over VPN with SBS 2008. There might be some another way as well but remember this it to access over VPN and not via RWW. I was trying to get it done and I finally managed to access, hence thought to share. So here is what I did:
- Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Group Policy Management > Group Policy Management + Forest + Domains + Your Domain Name + Group Policy Objects + Windows SBS Clients * Windows XP Policy
- Right Click Edit. This will open Group Policy Management Editor.
- Windows SBS Client - Windows XP Policy [SBS Name] + Computer Configuration + Policies + Administrative Templates: Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the local machine + Network Connections + Windows Firewall + Domain Profile
- In the right hand panel Double click on Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote Desktop exceptions
- Add your Network (see instructions there in)
- Reboot the XP machine.
That’s it. Hope it helps.
