Web based Administration???? - 8.Jan.2003 10:25:00 PM

We have small network and I am researching the possibility of administering our MSexchange Server 5.5 via the web. I am searching for a web based interface way to administer our server. Any and all leads or info appreciated.
Thanks,

Is E5.5 running on an NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 server? If it's running on a Windows 2000 server, you can install Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode, and then use the Terminal Services Advanced Client (TSAC) setup to allow Terminal Server access over a web connection.

If you're running Windows NT 4.0, you can install VNC, http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ and have web-based access to the server desktop.

VNC will also work on Windows 2000--just be wary: VNC is a bitmap-based product (like PCAnywhere), meaning that it takes snapshots of the screen and sends them over the wire. It is much slower than using Windows 2000 Terminal Services because TS is coordinate-based, meaning just enough data is sent over the wire to tell the client how to draw the windows, making for a much faster experience.

Also, Windows 2000 Terminal Services are separate sessions on the same machine, whereas VNC shares the desktop (so you can have two or three users logged in remotely looking at the same thing). Both have their advantages/disadvantages.
