Everything goes over the wire, including internet access. There are no servers at the remote locations.
As for IP addresses: Office1 = 192.168.50.0/24 Office2 = 192.168.51.0/24 Office3 = 192.168.53.0/24 Etc. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 11:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Remote Location AD Question What do you guys use for IP assignment? We have 3 remote offices, each with less than 15 users, that I'd love to get to a point of not having a DC there. Do you have member server in place for files, etc? Or do you have everything going over the wire to your central site?

GPO for management, Anti-virus updates, patch management, reporting/inventory of the systems, remoting in for troubleshooting etc. Logon traffic for 50 workstations across a t1 is negligible as long as latency is low.
