Hi,
I've a situation whereby the main office houses all the critical Servers for the company which includes Windows 2000 DC's, DNS, Exchange 2000 Server and File and Print Services.
We have opened a new remote site(20 users) which is connected by VPN(via internet) to this main office. The Remote site currently has only desktops (domain mode) and are authenticated by the DC's in the main office via the VPN link ( email access is also done remotely via VPN). There are no administrators in the remote site.
We wish to provide file and print services to this remote site by installing a File & Print Server at that site (to provide better access to resources) but would like to reduce the overhead of installing DC's, DNS, Server maintenance and at the same time would like to provide reasonable performance to these remote users.
What would be the best and most economical way to accomplish this ? Having a dedicated link between the sites is too expensive and business cannot afford.
