As technology advances and enables users to be more mobile, the need for remote access is quickly increasing. Providing users with access to network resources from remote locations, such as home offices and client and business sites, is becoming a necessity. Organizations need the flexibility of providing mobile users access to network resources without a compromise in security or a drastic increase in administrative overhead.

Also, as networks continue to become interconnected , businesses are always looking for cost-effective and practical ways to implement routing. The option is always available to purchase high-end dedicated, complex routing solutions. However, with Windows Server 2003, a simple, efficient, and effective routing solution is built into the operating system.

This chapter covers important topics related to Windows Server 2003 routing and remote access. You learn how to configure a remote access server and provide access to the network without compromising security, and you learn about some of the management and monitoring tasks that go along with remote access. You also learn how to configure a virtual private network (VPN), and how to enable and configure the routing feature that is included with routing and remote access.
