Replicate AD to remote DC

[Andy]

Hi, we have 2 DC, but we want to replicate to a remote DC
in one of our regional offices. How would we do this,
the office has a 2mb lease line, I take it I would build
a Win2003 server there DCpromo it, then what? We only
want to replicate it say 2 once or twice a day. We don't
want the main users to go out to this site and
authenticate only to the 2 main ones. However can we
also make it a Global Catologue?

Kind Regards

Andy

You can control replication over a WAN link by configuring Sites in
Active Directory Sites and Services. This will also affect which
servers the client logs on to.

Check this articles:

Sites from the Windows 2000 documentation
