Remote administration

There are three approaches you can use to administer the POP3 service remotely: remote Web administration, Terminal Services, and Microsoft Management Console.

  • Remote Web administration

    You can use the Web to connect remotely to a server running the POP3 service. The POP3 service is integrated into the Web Interface for Remote Administration. You can use a Web browser to exert full administrative control of a computer over the Internet. For more information, see Using Web Interface for Remote Administration.

  • Remote administration using Terminal Services

    You can use a Terminal Services client to connect remotely to a server that is running the POP3 service. With Terminal Services, you have full administrative control over the computer and the POP3 service. For more information, see Remote Administration using Terminal Services.

  • Remote administration using Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

    Using the POP3 service MMC snap-in, you can connect to another computer that is running the POP3 service. For security reasons, to manage the POP3 service on a remote computer, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the remote computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. For more information about connecting to a remote server, see Connect to a remote server running the POP3 service.

  • To perform this procedure on a remote computer, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the remote computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
