There's a RDP feature via RWW. Not trying to a VPN connection and allowing RDP. Please advise and thank you in advanced.
The Remote Web Workplace is a Web-based application and is accessed through a web browser. The URL is https://dnsregisterrednameofserver/remote or https://ipaddressofserver/remote. To control remote computers, a user is required to install a "Remote Desktop ActiveX control" into his/her web browser once, and only Internet Explorer is supported.

RWW works by proxying Remote Desktop via port 4125/tcp on the SBS machine to the usual RDP port (3389/tcp) on the internal client or server machine being reached. But as a security measure, 4125/tcp is not normally listening at all (attempts to reach it would produce "Connection refused" errors), and it listens for connections only when a user has requested a session via the web GUI.

Then, it will accept a connection only from an IP address which has a pending connection request, dropping all others. The port is closed once the proxy is set up. The usual RDP port of 3389/tcp is not exposed to the internet.
