I've had a few questions recently about managing clients that either roam off of the internal network or clients that never connect to the local network at all so I thought I would post a heads up about a TechCenter article that has some great information and examples on how you can do just that.

The article includes example scenarios of how Internet-based client management in Configuration Manager 2007 can be implemented to solve the following business requirements:

• Continue to Manage Laptops that Regularly Move out of the Intranet and on to the Internet
• Manage Home Computers that Never Connect to the Intranet
• Support Internet-Based Clients and Intranet Clients in the Intranet on the Same Site System Server

For more information on this see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680445.aspx.

Enjoy!
