The Routing and Remote Access service (RRAS) is a vital component of Small Business Server 2003. The role of this service has been expanded from previous versions to provide new functionality that greatly improves security. Also, new wizards are available to automatically configure many aspects of remote access. These improvements are not limited only to the server portion but also to the client configuration as well.
