I'm working on a planning committee for a public school system that wants to implement a VPN to allow teachers, students, and parents remote access to the school system's network. What issues would be involved with parents having access - software implementation, dedicated Internet access, technical troubleshooting, continually growing parent base, etc.? Is there a better solution?

Use dedicated server(s) that are assigned to that specific task. It/they would be the only computers accessible to the Parents/Students. The teachers might be given permission to enter other locations based on their need, rights and permissions. But to allow students and parents you wont be using passwords, it will have to be an open Web Server. Not too hard to set up.

Thank you for your reply. I had thought that would be the correct way to allow access, but I wanted some verification before presenting it to my team.
