Remote Web Workplace is an ingenius thing. It is basically a web page on the SBS server with links to a number of resources. You can get to OWA, Outlook Web Access from there. You can connect easily to the server and/or any desktop in the practice. You can allow your other users to connect just to his or her workstation with complete restriction to the server or other workstations other than his or her normal connection to the server through network shares. It is an https:// connection so it is fully SSL encrypted.

You can directly administer Sharepoint which is nice since you can add a message for the following day from home or look up any form or data on Sharepoint.

You can provide remote assistance to any user by taking over their desktop from any remote computer.

It's nice because it is always there and always running. You never have to worry about something going down.

It requires three ports to be open: 443, 444 and 4125 so depending on your firewall, it can be easy or difficult to set up. I should say it is already set up, if you configured it on your SBS, which you probably did, but if not just run the user wizard again. I can't recall if you need to run CEICW again. You do need to remember in XP Pro to check off the setting which allows remote access via RWW. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Your IT person should definitely know how to set it up.
