This is not really a walkthrough, but more of an informative document. If you want to remote control your Windows 2003 server you can enable ‘Remote Desktop’ on the server to have Administrative Control over it from a remote location. You can view the servers desktop and perform 90% of tasks from a remote location. If you wish to enable this feature, Go to; Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System At the top click on the ‘Remote’ tab and then check the box labeled ‘Allow users to connect remotely to this computer’, a dialog popups up telling you that accounts with no password will not be able to access the server, click ‘Ok’ and then click ‘Ok’ again. Administrators always have remote access to this machine. If you wish to cross routers or firewalls with Remote Desktop you will need to forward or open port 3389 through the firewall/router as it uses this port for communications. RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) traffic is always encrypted. Set as Favorite Bookmark Create PDF
