Hi All, A new client has asked me to look into the following scenario:
He has two offices which are almost beside each other...there's one building between them. The buildings are listed which means no holes in walls and they are not allowed to string a cable between buildings. Both offices have their own broadband connection. The small office in one building has 2 or 3 users and they have an SBS2003 server located here. The SBS server doesn't do a lot at the moment, seems to be file storage for the small office only. They are not using Exchange...each user POPs their own mail directly to their PC. SBS server is a Proliant DL360G5, 2 GB RAM, 2 X 146 GB SAS disks. The large office in the other building has about 15 users - mostly sales people on the phone. This office has a Linux server running Samba used for file storage. The client wants to remove the Linux server and have everything centralised on the SBS machine. The client wants to fully utilise the SBS machine for file sharing, centralised AV, printing, Exchange, WSUS etc. I was thinking that moving the SBS machine to the large office would make sense as there are the most users in that office and they could connect to it over the LAN. The users in the small office could via some sort of VPN - preferably the built in SBS VPN to keep costs down. Does anyone have experience of doing a job like this and could offer opinions about my proposed solution or a better way of doing it? Thanks in advance.
