Our company has one main office and several remote
jobsites. The original way we set up job sites was to
place a Domain Controller at each site and then create an
AD site for replication. We are not running DFS. I was
thinking that since we have to setup a VPN connection
from the jobsite to the home office for replication, is
there a valid reason why we need a DC at each jobsite.
Couldn't the remote sites authenticate to the DC's
located in the main office over the VPN tunnel? These are
small sites, usually 5-10 users. Our network is very
simplistic, W2K servers in an AD native environment with
WXP Pro on workstations. Any reasons why this alternative
setup would not be a good idea would be appreciated.
Thanks.
