I have a client with a Windows 2000 active directory network. The office
network consists of two domain controllers and an Exchange server. The
Exchange server also is running RRAS in order to provide VPN services to the
employees when they are at home. The client would like to have another
domain controller located off-site.
The network environment at the office location is an sDSL connection to the
Internet @ 192k. The router has a static IP address. The router is
currently providing firewall and NAT service for the internal network. The
internal network uses private IP addresses (192.168.0.0) for the servers and
workstations.
The remote location has a cable modem and a SOHO firewall/router providing
NAT for the internal network (it does support VPN pass through). This
network utilizes private IP addresses (192.168.15.0). The cable modem
network provides only DHCP addresses for the clients.
My plan is to build the domain controller on the office network and then
move it to the remote location. I will the configure an additional site
within Active Directory Sites and Services assign it the subnet
192.168.15.0, and then move the new DC into that site. My question is what
is the best way to connect the two sites so that replication can occurr?
There is no point to point WAN connection between the sites. Can I set up
site replication using the VPN? If so, how can I set up the VPN client in
the remote location to start as a service (so no one has to be logged onto
the DC).
Thanks for your help.
