With the release of Windows Home Server Power Pack 1, Microsoft introduced a new feature to allow more granular control over the Remote Access pages. Prior to the Power Pack 1 release, any user with Remote Access could attempt to connect to a computer listed in the Computers Tab. This new feature allows an Administrator to remove this Computers Tab from certain user accounts who may not require this feature.
