Re: AD Replication

No, not a good idea. 256k is not really that slow in teh grand scheme of
things either.

What you need to do is look up the Install from Media feature in 2003 and
utilize it. Ship your DC to the remote site as a member server. Along with
it ship the DVD with the ntbackup of another DC in the domain (which is also
a GC if this is a GC-to-be). Your remote admin should power up the DC and
either pop the DVD in if it's got a DVD drive or copy the file over the lAN
onto the new DC's harddisk.

Do a dcpromo /adv and point to the extracted ntbackup. Replication now is
only the deltas between your backup and the production AD.

Also you need to make sure you have a seperate site, subnet(s) associated to
it, and a site link with a schedule and cost that matches your 256k. Note
that cost is only relevant if there are multiple paths to this site.

Hi,

I need install a DC in a remote location. My problem is the link is very
slow (256k). my idea is install a DC in a notebook and start a new DC
replication between notebook and new server (cross cable).

I would like to know if is a good idea.

Thanks
