We have a small office network with a domain controller. All computers run
Win2000.

I want to run demos at remote locations that have an IIS-configured
application on a laptop running Win2000 Server and accessed through a laptop
client running Win2000 Pro.

I want the laptop client to run the remote demos and access the home network
when back in the office.

How should the laptop server be congigured? Options seem to be:

1. A new domain on the laptop which is congigured as a new Domain Controller
2. A second Domain Controller of the office domain
3. Standalone server
