Good morning,
I receive this error when i try to remote into my office computer from home. " Can't connect securely to this page" This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings.
My server is SBS 2003 R2. Remote access worked great until today.
Please help, very urgent.

You must realize that SBS 2003 went off support back in July 2015. Why do you want to continue to use software that hasn't received a security update in nearly 4 years? Its surprising you haven't had problems sooner.
You don't give any details on how you are accessing the machine. What browser are you using and version. Many browser makers have decided to prevent connections to sites using outdated SSL & TLS protocols. Today only TLS 1.2 & 1.3 are considered secure. What security protocols have you enabled on the server?

Trust me my friend, it is not by choice. The company i work for, is not in a hurry to purchase i new server, i have been asking for years. i just try my best to keep it running and it has been great.
I really just need help getting RWW to work again. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help. I think the issue is with TLS, but not sure, I am not strong in SSL or TLS or IIS department.
Thanks for your response

This message relates to your TLS settings.
You'll have to retire protocols SSL2, SSL3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 which will leave TLSv1.2 + TLSv1.3 as only protocols enabled.
To expand Kevin's comment. Your code is old + you should update.
Because your code is so old, the required protocol support may be missing, so you may have to upgrade for any client to connect.
After digging through Microsoft's docs, your server version doesn't support any TLS protocol versions, so you must upgrade for modern clients to connect.

Windows Server 2008 SP2 is first version to add TLSv1.2 so is the absolute minimum version required for modern clients to connect.
Thanks for the info. But i haven't done an update on this SBS 2003 in 2 years. I also can seem to get in contact with my SSL cert provider. So i went ahead and purchase remote access for everyone. That took care of remote access for the employees.
