About remote access

[Guest]

Now I am working on a project for let user remote access our windows 2000
server. I have setup a Windows 2000 server as domain controller in our main
office. Users, who in the main office, can login in our domain –
ourdomain.com. We have a branch office in another state. There are about 10
users in the branch office. We use T1 line to connect from main office’s
server to branch office’s client. I want to setup Window XP for these 10
users and let them login to our domain same as our main office’s users, and
they can save their document to our main office’s server. I have to use T1
line. If it is possibly, could you give me some ideas? Thanks a lot.

Set up hardward VPN endpoints at both locations.

This will allow all the win XP users to accsess everything at head office
like they were there.

Hi, Matt,

Thank you for your reply. I don’t want to use VPN. Because my boss want me
to let branch office’s users connect and login to windows 2003 server
directly same as our main office’s users. But I have to use T1 line. Is it
possible? Is it same configuration both main office’s client PC configuration
and branch office’s client PC configuration? Do we have any performance
problem if these 10 users login our windows 2003 server at same time, because
I know that the bandwidth of T1 line is 1.544Mbps?

Hope you can give some suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Uh, you basically NEED to use a VPN. There's no way of making the two
networks seem link one without using one.
