Session Outline
In this session, we will use the business scenario of a corporate office with a remote branch office and remote users to look at these five scenarios for connecting external users to an internal network securely using Windows Server 2003 solutions: connect the branch office to the Internet, ensure that communications between your public Web server and your SQL Server are secured, configure a secure remote access solution with customizable control over user access and prevention of invalid configurations connecting, connect the branch office through high security site-to-site VPN, and configure a remote access server at the new branch office that is located in a DMZ and is not a member of the domain.
