Have you looked into the RODC capability coming with Longhorn? It’s really not that far off, and it solves most of the security issues you are worried about. I was able to use the promise of RODC to get management here to back off of DCs at all branch locations until next year.

If they still insist on doing it now, the recommended way to do it from Microsoft is to put all domain services in a VM on the remote server.

HTH,

Thanks, everyone.

T1. IMO, plenty of speed to handle authentication. But, there is concern that if the T1 goes down, these 20 people will be unable to do anything at all on the network.
