After performing a migration from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008, users are
unable to log on to any computers via Remote Web Workplace. Under
'Connect to a computer' it just says 'No computers are available'.
I've followed all the official documentation and can't see what I've
missed. Here's what I've done:-

- Confirmed that all user and computer accounts are in the correct SBS
2008 OUs in Active Directory
- Confirmed that all user and computer accounts appear in the SBS
console
- Configured user/computer accounts in the SBS console to allow users
to access specific computers remotely

I've also performed the registry edit explained on the following Web
page to make our terminal server appear on Remote Web Workplace, but
that's not working either:-

What have I missed?

Go to the console. Go to network, then to computers, double click on
each one. Go to user access -- Assign them a computer that they log in.

Once you do that I'll bet the TS server shows up for them as well.

Thanks, but that's one of the steps I've already performed
("Configured user/computer accounts in the SBS console to allow users
to access specific computers remotely").

If I log on to RWW as a domain administrator all of the computers are
available.

Did you join the computers to the domain using the ConencComputer Wizard?

The computers were joined to the SBS 2003 domain using the Connect
Computer wizard. The domain has now been migrated to SBS 2008 using
the SBSmigration.com Swing Migration methodology.

Have you run the "Fix My network" Wizard?

I'd guess the workstations aren't in the right OU. In 03 RWW didn't care,
but 08 does.

Hello,

Thanks for your post and others' good suggestions.

In addition, to discern if it is a legacy SBS 2003 user accounts issue, you may also create a new domain account with administrative permission and logon in RWW to see if
client computers are listed.

Thanks, I'll try that next week.

After a server reboot the client computers are now showing up in RWW.
We still can't see the terminal server though. A colleague of mine has
researched extensively but hasn't found a solution. He did find a
forum post from someone else with the same problem and their terminal
server eventually showed up in RWW without them doing anything.
Strange. Maybe ours will too.
