Side note to VMing. I think your fine going through a static VPN (More V
acronyms!!) but be sure to close off ports: 5700, 5800 and 5900 on your
outside firewall interface as there are a number of different worms
looking for access to machines through those ports. Not nearly as bad as
say "Big Yellow" but more than enough to waste a good deal of analysis ink
every day.

RE: [ActiveDir] Remote DC's on Virtual Server
ESX (VMWare) is good - and pricey. And very strict as to hardware specs.
And complex to setup and administer. And, I could be wrong on this, NOT
(MS)-supported for virtualizing DCs.
Virtual Server, on the other hand, is good, not pricey, less picky, more
supported (I believe it's actually validated) for DCs virtualization.
Plus, the liberal OS licensing scheme is very attractive to me.
Yes, I know, VMWare rules the market. Yes, I am biased.
Sincerely,

Subject: [ActiveDir] Remote DC's on Virtual Server
What would you recommend for the following situation.
We are thinking of having a hot site where Exchange will be replicated to
a remote location. Since Exchange will be remote over the Internet, we
will need to have DC’s for each domain available in that remote site.
(This would all be going across a VPN)
I was thinking about placing 8 DC’s on a VMWare Infrastructure 3 server
Enterprise edition. These DC’s would really only be used in the event of
a disaster and people started connecting to Exchange up in the remote
site.
Is VMWare Infrastructure 3 good? What would you use?
