My first answer is Terminal Services, or Citrix. Otherwise, you can use Dial-Up Networking for the non-broadband users. For the broadband users, they can start the VPN, and then login to your network.
I personally would recommend against the home computers, unless they are laptops or owned by the company, being members of the domain. There is too much potential for intrusion by exposing your domain in such a way. Also the fact that the systems need to connect to the domain periodically as well. My solution to this would be to setup Terminal Service (or Citrix) Servers and then have them login remotely that way. Security is easier to maintain, and exposure is reduced to a single port. Especially if they aren't behind some sort of DSL/Cable modem router! These things aren't foolproof, but they do reduce the exposure of the PC. Remember, Script kiddies abound, and so do weaknesses in the Windows Operating Systems. W.

Once I'm on the Corperate network backbone, I jointed my machine to the W2K domain, successfully. Now, after rebooted I have a W2K domain appear at the logon. Since, I'm a new user never logded-on and therefore I don't have any cache credential. How do I get out of this one? Here is another thing, If my users have Cable modem or DSL's users have DSL/Router then it will work, because the ISP connection is live at that time, but I can't expect 100+ users to go out and buy DSL/Router and I also can't ask them to bring their PC to work and have them logon so they have at least one cache credential. So, how do I handle this? ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
