[ActiveDir] AD Replication over VPN

[Lou Vega]

Hello Collective List Wisdom ;)   I’ve just been tasked with setting up our AD to replicate over a Cisco Pix VPN. I’ve assembled some links now to various Microsoft articles and Cisco articles regarding most facets of what will be involved. What I’m looking for are any “Gotcha’s” from the real world versus the perfect one the writers of said articles tend to live in. Essentially setup is proposed as follows:   Here – 2 DC’s (Windows 2003 Server) and 2 Cisco 525’s (high availability) Remote Site – 1 DC (Windows 2003 Server and 1 Cisco 525 VPN link between here and remote site for AD Replication, etc.   As I said earlier, I’m mostly looking for “notes from the field” covering things they DON’T tell you in most articles. I’m back to my light reading….   r/ Lou
