Cisco VPN connects to network and can rdp to server cannot rdp to workstations SBS 2011
I have created a new sbs 2011 domain. I have an existing ASA 5505 (7.2(4))
I can establish a VPN commection and RDP to the server. I cannot RDP to any workstaion on the remote network. I cannot ping by name or IP.
This domain replaced a SBS 2003 domain that crashed badly. The VPN and RDP was working.

check firewall rules. there may be a rule that allows only rdp to the server
Tried the above with no resolution. I ca ping by IP not by name. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can you RDP to a Workstation by IP? Pings are allowed by default on an SBS domain, RDP from outside is not. Not being able to ping by name is a different issue with DNS.
-You can ping by IP so it is not a routing issue
-Try RDP by IP , if that doesn't work it is likely still a firewall rule
-If by IP works, you will need to set the SBS IP as the only DNS IP for the VPN client
I cannot RDP by ip or name. This is a new server and an existing Cisco firewall and ipsec vpn. The old domain was sbs 2003 the new is sbs2011. I am using the same IP scheme as before.

I am still betting on the software firewall. ICMP's (Ping's) are allowed by default and RDP blocked. It is a VERY common problem. If there is a 3rd party firewall on the PC, the same applies.
The fact that you cannot ping by name is a different issue.
