Ditto for SBS. You can leave it or remove it. If they won't be running apps over the VPN, then I'd remove it. One less thing to support.

But this is SBS, which breaks the rules -- Jim's the SBS-philiac, so I'll leave the definitive response to him.

I have a local user who is moving across country to be full time remote, and taking his local computer with him. Do I need to do anything with the FWC on the computer? I do not have the luxury of taking the computer home to test it first, but do have access to it today and tomorrow before he leaves, so if there is anything I should change I would like to do it now while it is still in the same time zone as me... Oh yeah, ISA 2004 and on an SBS network..... Thanks.
