Issue

Remote Workers using Windows 8 having issues connecting to their work computers via Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2008 Remote Workplace. Depending on Internet Explorer version, some users don't see "Connect to a Computer" option at all (this is what would normally happen when connecting using non Internet Explorer browser).
