Remote Assistance connection via Remote Desktop Web Connection help needed

I worked at a company where you would access the intranet http://server/tsweb and you would access the Remote Desktop Web Connection Page and at the bottom of this page you were able to connect to workstations on your network and provide Remote Assistance. I want to set this up in my environment , so I installed IIS 6 on a Windows 2003 server and I installed Remote Desktop Web Connection. The problem is that when I access the page at http://server/tsweb all I see on the Remote Desktop Web Connection is a box to connect to a computer via Terminal Services and no option on the bottom of the page to connect to a workstation and provide Remote Assistance. My question is how do I set this up? I know it can be done as I have seen it, but I am missing something. Thanks.

you posted this on a newsgroup, didn't you! (not a bad thing - rather impressed actually - most people don't seem to know they exist).

Check your webserver settings. IIS 6 disables several things by default - I believe this includes ASP.

Is this on a server the public can access? If so, can you post the URL?

I believe that is a feature of SBS Remote Workplace...
Now I wonder if anyone has found a way to get it out on to a standard Windows 2003 server...

LOL yes I did! No this is on a private server.

Thanks for the reply :) I working in an environment that, using the above link, would bring you to the following page on the server:

But if you scrolled down to the bottom of this page there would be :

Now I have the first part of the page, but how do I enable or configure the lower half?

I'm sorry - I'm confused. You get this page:
http://www.petri.co.il/images/remote_desktop_web_xp.gif

but you believe this page should be at the bottom of the above page?

I've NEVER seen that part. Sembee may be right - it may be part of the SBS Remote Workplace feature.

Unfortunatly, the features you are talking about are part of Microsoft Remote Web Workplace.
RWW is only available with MS Small Business Server and cannot be installed as any kind of upgrade or feature pack on Windows Server 2003.

Thanks for the replies. This was a very large environment, no SBS servers around. What you are referring to is:
