Remote Web Workspace had a very nice face lift in SBS 2008. Along with it came the ability to add custom links, which it comes handy when you want to track different sites.
The URL is the same https://servername/remote.
After supplying the user credential the new interface shows up and in the bottom half of the screen there are two columns of links which are customizable
In order to add custom links we have to go to the Windows SBS Console click on the Users and Groups tab, and then click on the Manage Desktop Links Gadget to the right of the window
From the Properties window there are options to add Links to either the Organization or Administration columns. For this post, I selected the Organization links section, and added a link to the SBS 2003 newsgroup.
The next time we log in, the custom link is visible under the appropriate section

One nice new feature of SBS 2008 is that the address for RWW is the same internally as it is externally. If you allow SBS to setup the default Internet Address of remote.servername.com, then it will also create a split DNS so that https://remote.servername.com will automatically go to RWW both inside and outside your LAN.
Awesome! Thanks Jeff.
