TGIF everyone! Today I am starting Chapter 10 of the Windows Small Business Server 2003 Best Practices book - for those of you who do not know - I post up a few pages per day as a community gift to you for your reading pleasure. I will do so until SBS 2008 ships! Today's posting relates to the Internet use withing SBS 2003. enjoy...harrybbbb Harry Brelsford, CEO at smb nation www.smbnation.com Microsoft Small Business Specialist SBSC, MBA, MCSE, MCT, MCP, CNE, CLSE, CNP PS - did u know I host an annual conference in Seattle each october for SBSers and SMB consultants? This year we help launch SBS 2008 and Essential Business Server (EBS) between October 4-6! Chapter 10 Internet and the Web Here yesterday, here today, and here tomorrow. That would be a shorthand way to sum up SBS support for Internet connectivity and the Web. The ability to easily connect to the Internet is part of the SBS foundation. In this chapter, you will learn about how SBS “natively” interacts with the Internet, look under the hood at Internet Information Services, extend your SBS 2003 server machine out on the Web as an FTP server, and create a Web page as well as host it on bCentral. I’ll weave and bob the SPRINGERS storyline into this discussion as much as possible. Let’s get started! Going Native: SBS 2003 InternetSupport You’ll recall configuring the Internet was an early task performed from the To Do List (the Connect to the Internet link) in Chapter 4 after you initially set up the SBS server machine. It was here you defined the inside and wild-side (outside) network adapter cards. You provided basic external IP address and DNS server information. A big assumption was made that you had acquired an external Internet-registered domain name from a firm such as Network Solutions (www.networksolutions.com). So after the SBS 2003 setup and deployment is completed, much of your management of the SBS Internet connectivity will occur in two places. The first is the Manage Internet and E-mail page, as seen in Figure 10-1. The second is the Internet Information Services snap-in found under Advanced Management in the Server Management console (which I describe in the next section). Visit www.microsoft.com/technet for the latest updates for any Microsoft product. Figure 10-1 Manage Internet and E-mail page. Specific to the Internet in SBS 2003, consider clicking on and learning more at these links: • Connect to the Internet (this launches the E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard you completed in Chapter 4) • Configure Remote Access (this launches the Remote Access Wizard you completed in Chapter 4) • Create Remote Connection Disk • Change Server IP address • Change Broadband Connection Password • Change Dial-up Connection Password • Configure Network Connections • Configure Phone and Modem Options More Information (strong online help you should peruse)
