I would suggest hosting all your users mail on Corporate and then have the
branch office either view their mailboxes through OWA 2003 or RPC over HTTP.
Since SBS has to be the Root of any domain you cannot connect two SBS
servers in the same domain. So you are somewhat limited in your choices. I
might also suggest connecting both locations with a Dedicated VPN then you
have many more options. You could setup another Windows 2003 DC in the
Branch Office. You could also setup a Windows 2003 Terminal at Corporate
for the remote Branch. This is more complex setup but it works well with
mulitple locations with SBS. Only other option is get a separate Registered
domain for your branch location.
