Just realised I have only the one machine with AD etc installed so RDS is out of the question and it is not R2 so essentials is a no go, I assume VPN is the only way then

Hi all we have a Windows 2012 server, and wondered what our options were for accessing files etc outside of the LAN,<br />
I know with the small business versions you have Remote workspace, but that does not seem to be available from what I can see.<br />
<br />
I know it has the ability for Direct Access but that is only supported on Windows 8 Enterprise, and the clients are on windows 7 pro and lower.<br />
<br />
basically the users want the ability to log onto the server maybe run a few programs and view files etc.<br />
<br />
is VPN the only way?
