The ability to remotely administer Windows Small Business Server can prove priceless. Adding new users, resetting account lockouts and passwords, reviewing event logs, and troubleshooting numerous other common issues needn't require an in-person visit to the office on weekends or remote facilities, even, on weekdays.

Windows Small Business Server possesses powerful remote administration features. They're so important to productivity and the OS' maintenance, in fact, that the SBS To Do List (activated at installation) dedicates its third configuration step specifically to configuring remote access and VPN connections.
