The VPN won't be reliable. Their line is due to be replaced by a super-duper site-to-site connection but not within the time scale of the merge, so we need something onsite to allow their machines to connect.
It's a shame as, with having a decent VPN, it would be easier. Also they need constant access to their files. Their current local server is also an SBS server so we need to level that and add it to the other companies domain. At which point we'll copy all the files back to the new server and demote the temp server.
