Have you ever made your intranet available externally (extranet)?

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone had any exposure to making any part of a Sharepoint intranet available to people on the web?

thanks

Good point it would be a security risk, and yes Sharepoint is a strange beast, I can imagine the extranet stuff would be tricky!

Thanks for the comments

I wonder if Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 can do what I need?

Windows 2008 TS gateway and app publishing will do the same thing

If you're after 2 factor auth on a budget, look at Deepnet security - its superb, very cheap and a lot simpler to administer and set up than RSA

wow, completely forgot about app publishing in 2008, thanks very much. I'll look into that tomorrow.

Our intranet is accessed via the internet as I/we use it for our job system and various important files, works very well.

Is that using Sharepoint?

Just remember to set it up so they cant browse externally.

We did something similar and found people didnt realise it was a remote app and when they were finished on the intranet, they carried on browsing with it...

good point thanks, have you faced any extra hacking attempts since opening this up?
