1. Key message: Remote Web Access provides an easy way for users to connect to data and applications remotely using a supported browser.Remote Web Access is a dynamically updated website that uses encrypted connections to provide a single, simple, secure and consolidated entry point into a small business network. It provides a stream-lined, touch-friendly browser experience for accessing applications and data from virtually anywhere you have an Internet connection and using almost any device. Authorized users can connect to Remote Web Access using any Internet-connected computer or mobile device with a supported browser. Compared to the remote access feature in earlier versions of Windows Small Business Server, Remote Web Access has a higher degree of extensibility in the software development kit (SDK), allowing for more customization, gadgets, add-in extensions, mobile rendering and an improved shared folder experience.Remote access to shared folders. Users can download files and folders, and upload one or more files to the shared folders on their server while away from the network. Users can also search through the shared folders to locate a specific file or files. Providing easy remote access to files encourages users to keep data stored on the server where only authorized users have access and the data is protected.Remote access to computers. Connect remotely to the computers in your network and run applications as if you were sitting in front of your computer. To connect to one of your computers, on the Computers tab, click the Connect button next to the computer. You can only connect to a computer that is Available for connection and that is running one of the following operating systems:Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 EnterpriseWindows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 7 ProfessionalUse of the Remote Web Access feature may require additional services from your broadband provider, such as access to certain “ports” that some providers may block for customers on some service plans. Contact your broadband provider if you have questions about their services or service terms.Remote Connection Monitoring. Windows Server 2012 Essentials allows administrators to see who is (and has been) remotely connected to the server. Remotely connect to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Dashboard. If the need arises, you can access the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Dashboard while working remotely to add new users, add new shared folders, check the health of your network, or perform other administrative tasks. You can also configure Remote Web Access to connect directly to the server desktop, so that all the Windows Server native tools are accessible.Change password.

Overview of the functionalitiesAfter the startup of My Server, you will be presented with five panels, as shown in the following image. The panels you’ll see depend on the permission level of your account and how your server is configured. Basically, administrators will see all five panels, whereas standard users will only see a limited server panel, files panel, recent panel, and media panel. Quick Status panel: Provides administrators with a quick summary of the server’s running status. In this case, you can figure out how everything is going on your server without logging on to the Dashboard. Server panel: Provides the user interface (UI) entry for light server management and monitoring, enabling you to manage alerts, devices, or accounts. Files panel: Access to files is one of the major new features for this version. Customers can now access shared folders and files.Recent panel: Keeps a history of the files that users have recently accessed so that they can reopen these files without navigating to a folder.Media panel: A centralized library for media playback that already existed in the previous version.
