Remote Web Workplace - cannot log into PC's - Where to start? Windows Small business Server 2003
Hi,
All was fine yesterday but today staff are unable to log into the their office PC's from home using the Remote Web Workplace service built into SBS 2003?
They get past the first window and are able to log in with username and password. but when they click the link to
"Connect to My Computer at Work"
and then choose their computer from the list and press "Connect" they get the error as shown in the screen shot attached.
As said it was working fine yesterday. What could cause this? Should I look for a particular service on the server? I am able to RDP into the server (After connecting to VPN) and all seems OK.
Thanks for any input.

OK but in this case the office has been closed so no one has had access. I can still ping the PC's on the network so everything suggests they are still turned on.
So nothing has changed and the office is closed at the moment, so can't get access to the PC.
So any ideas?
Is there services I can check on the server?

Remote to the server and then to the client and complete the task above form remote connection
Can you use RWW to connect to the server itself as an admin. If not it may be an IIS issue. Make sure service is started and in the IIS management console make sure the web sites are started.
Install Dameware utility trial version on the server and try to install the client on the desktop. you can also use dameware to force restart the system.

User may have installed Iternet Explorer 8.
Open ie8 - go to tools/internet options/security/custom level and change the active x control and plugin setting.
