remote access to server

[Jonathan Askew JBASKEW <JBASKEW () uncg edu>]

What is the industry standard or best practice in setting up remote access
to a 2003 server? What are the security implications associated with
setting up remote access? I am looking for a solution that would preferably
not require the purchase of any hardware and would allow me to perform
basic administrative tasks such as setting up new users, changing
permissions, etc. Sorry if this is double posted as I am having some
trouble with my email.

Thanks,
Blake
