hmm, I have DC's working properly on 128 and 256 Kbps connections
without a problem - after initial promotion good replication schedule
should let You run this domain withou problems.

Stingray,

There are usually not very many reasons for creating a child domain.
Usually you can keep one domain but have multiple physical locations. This
is exactly what Active Directory Sites and Services are for....

If you do not mind, what is the reason/are the reasons for creating a child
domain?
