Configure Cisco ASA for SBS 2008/2011 Network using CLI

I recently posted an article entitled “Configure Cisco ASA for SBS 2008/2011 Network using ASDM” which uses the GUI, a very lengthy process, but perhaps easier to understand for those not familiar with the Cisco Command Line Interface (CLI) like me.  However, I did promise to also post the handful of necessary commands to achieve the same thing using the command line. Please find the matching commands below using the same options and sample IP’s as in the previous post. You may wish to review the previous article should you require an explanation of why the various command are necessary. Note: this was done using ASA Version 8.2(5).

Basic router configuration; router name, domain, outside/WAN static IP and subnet mask, and management access:

hostname Cisco-ASA5505
domain-name MyDomain.local
Interface vlan2
ip address  123.123.123.123 255.255.255.248
no http 192.168.123.0 255.255.255.0 inside
http 192.168.123.0 255.255.255.0 inside
no telnet 192.168.123.0 255.255.255.0 inside
telnet 192.168.123.0 255.255.255.0 inside
enable password MyPassword

Disable DHCP on the Inside/LAN interface and set inside/LAN IP:

no dhcpd enable inside
Interface vlan1
no ip address
ip address  192.168.123.254 255.255.255.0
same-security-traffic permit inter-interface

Set default gateway on Outside/WAN interface:

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 123.123.123.121 1

Configure port forwarding for port 25 (SMTP/Exchange), port 443 (Https/RWW/RWA/OWA/Sharepoint), and port 987 (Sharepoint):

name 192.168.123.10 SBS-Server
asdm location 192.168.123.10 255.255.255.255 inside

static (inside,outside)  tcp interface 25 192.168.123.10 25 netmask 255.255.255.255 tcp 0 0 udp 0
static (inside,outside)  tcp interface 443 192.168.123.10 443 netmask 255.255.255.255 tcp 0 0 udp 0
static (inside,outside)  tcp interface 987 192.168.123.10 987 netmask 255.255.255.255 tcp 0 0 udp 0

access-list outside_access_in remark Allow SMTP traffic
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq smtp
access-list outside_access_in remark Allow SSL-OWA-RWA Traffic
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq https
access-list outside_access_in remark Allow SharePoint traffic
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any interface outside eq 987
access-group outside_access_in in interface outside

Allow pings from LAN to Internet:

policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
inspect icmp

Allow Tracert (requires ping policy changes above):

access-list outside_access_in line 3 remark Allow Tracert
access-list outside_access_in line 4 extended permit icmp any any

Save:

Add a Terminal Server to the SBS 2011 RWA page

With SBS 2008 if you wanted a Terminal Server to be listed with the computers to which a user could select on the RWW (Remote Web Workplace) page, you had to add a registry entry. With SBS 2011 adding the Terminal server (now called RDS or Remote Desktop Services Server) to the new RWA (Remote Web Access) page is pretty much the same only the key in which you create the entry doesn’t exist, so it is now a two step process.

Note: This will not work on Server 2012 Essentials, and because it and SBS 2011 Essentials communicate with the same “connector”, I suspect it will not work on it either.  The change is intended for SBS 2011 Standard, or edit the existing key on SBS 2008 Standard or Premium.

Update:  Should you be looking for information regarding adding a 2012 RDS Server (Remote Desktop Server / Terminal Server)  to an SBS 2008/2011 domain, please see the following more recent post: https://blog.lan-tech.ca/2013/04/11/add-2012-rds-server-to-sbs-20082011/

The normal warnings apply: making changes to the registry can negatively impact your server or even make it unusable. Before making changes to the registry, back it up and if not familiar with making registry changes it might be best not to proceed.

Open the registry editor, as a domain admin, and locate the following key:

        HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer

  1. Add a new key named RemoteUserPortal
  2. Within that key create a new Multi-String Value entry named TsServerNames Then edit the new entry and insert as a value, the exact name of your Terminal (RDS) server. If you have multiple RDS servers add them each in a separate line of the value/data area.
