Install the server's security certificate on your remote computer

You can configure remote computers to trust the Windows Small Business Server 2008 server by installing the server's security certificate. This will enable your browser to connect to Remote Web Workplace without security warnings.

To install the server's security certificate on your remote computer, do the following:

  1. From a computer that is in the Windows SBS network, open a Web browser and type the following address into the address bar:
    \\SBSSERVERNAME\public\downloads.
  2. Copy the file Install Certificate Package.zip to portable storage media, such as a floppy disk or a USB drive.
  3. Insert the floppy disk or USB drive into the computer that is not joined to the Windows SBS domain and from which you want to access Remote Web Workplace.
  4. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the location where you copied Install Certificate Package.zip.
  5. Right-click Install Certificate Package.zip, and then click Extract All.
  6. In the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders dialog box, type a folder location to which you want to extract the files, and then click Extract.
  7. Open the folder where the extracted files are located, and then double-click InstallCertificate.
  8. Select Install the certificate on my computer, and then click Install.
  9. Browse to the Remote Web Workplace Web site.

Note: You should only download the certificate installer package from a computer that is directly connected to your organisation's network. Do not download this package over the Internet.
