Server 2008 R2 Remote Web Access set up
I have a dedicated server with a fresh install of 2008 R2 on it and need to configure it for a third party for web access to install a web application on it. What is the best/easiest way to do this.. we are currently connected to the web through a router and modem. I have contacted some techs for help but they don't seem well versed on configuring 2008 R2

I have static IP addresses on the Modem and Router and I can reach them both ok...do I use msconfig at the dos prompt for the servers public IP address?

We have two servers, I am able to test with one of them..

I think we have it.. but it seems that I am trying to log on with a secure connection - and there is a warning at the log in indicating that the server requires "basic authentication" - is there a way to turn that off to test it?
ASKER
I remember, probably better to change the server setting .. then change it back to test.

I think we have it - Thank You!
Then on your firewall, open up port 3389 from their (3rd party) static IP address to your server's public IP address (or create a forwarder for port 3389 to your server for their IP address only). They can then access your server via RDP. Disable the rule after they're done.
