Once the server is configured to allow remote connections, you must also give users permission to connect to the server remotely.
To reduce the number of accounts that are accessible through the firewall, it is recommended that you only provide remote access permissions to users who actually require it.

To give a user remote access permissions

1. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers. (Click Start, and then click Small Business Server Administrator Console. Double-click Active Directory Users and Computers.)
2. Select Users, and then double-click the user to whom you want to grant remote access permissions.
3. On the Dial-in tab, under Remote Access Permission (Dial-in or VPN), select Allow Access.
4. Click OK.

Important: You must disable NetBIOS for all Routing and Remote Access dial-in connections if your server computer is not running Small Business Server 2000 Service Pack 1.
To disable NetBIOS for all Routing and Remote Access dial-in connections

1. Install Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.
2. Open the Registry Editor. (Click Start, click Run, and then type Regedt32.exe.)
   Warning: Using Registry Editor improperly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee problems that result from the improper use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
3. Make a backup of the registry
4. Locate and click the following key in the registry:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Parameters\Ip

5. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
