I would also suggest making sure that you schedule replication at specific intervals to that location by making it a site, and not use the bandwidth for constant directory replication.

I have a 256kbps connection to my remote site that only contains 20 people. I have a DC installed at that location but users connect to their email at my location. Currently when they click to send an email, it takes 19-20 seconds to send. - outlook 2000 sp3 (receiving seems to be ok) I am wondering - if making their existing DC into a GC, it may speed up? grasping here? I hate to put an exchange server at that location with only 20 people but according to this article: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodt echnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/deployguide/dssbd_topo_dljo.asp it is not advised to put a GC at that location - granted this seems to be for windows 2003 and we have 2000 - not sure if ths still pertains. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
