Kevin,

For general IIS related topics, http://www.iisanswers.com/ is a great site.
I work completely remotely on both Win2k and NT4 servers.  We use a terminal
server client to connect to win2k and VNC (
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ ) to connect to NT4.

HTH,
Lisa

Subject: How do you work on MS-based websites?


> Great resource, I have been lurking here for many years :).

> It's been a while since I asked a newbie-question like this, but we have
been building complex websites in LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) for
several years now and we have a client that needs us to work inside an
existing MS setup: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000, with Frontpage
extensions and MS Access as a database.

> When working in LAMP, we work in Telnet/SSH, we can see what is going on
with the server through the command line, and some of our staff use FTP
programs to move files up and down to the remote web-servers from our local
testing servers. I know we can access the web server easily enough through
FTP, and Frontpage (if we must!), but I feel as though I am working blind -
how do we do things like setup or connect to a database?

> We have a working licensed version of Windows 2000 server running in our
office here, but the process of setting up a working web server, let alone
database connections, seems like a long learning curve.

> Apart from RTFM (which I am doing - sigh), are there any quick hints as to
how you MS-shops out there operate :)?
