Administering Access Connect remotely

You can configure Access Connect on a remote computer if Access Connect is already installed on that computer. You must have Windows Administrative privileges on the remote computer. The experience of administering a remote server is very similar to that of the local server Administrator, except that the title of the Administrator dialog box shows the name or IP Address of the remote computer whose Access Connect service you are configuring and you cannot browse for folders to share. Otherwise, you can configure the remote server just as you would a local server.

To administer a remote Access Connect server, do the following:

1. Hold down the Control key while you launch the Access Connect Administrator. Alternatively, if there is no local installation of Access Connect, Access Connect Administrator will start immediately in remote mode.

2. Type the name or IP Address of the remote computer and click OK.
3. The Administrator will attempt to use your Windows credentials to log onto the server. If necessary, you will be prompted for an alternate username and password.
