Hi
If you only have 2 Sites just stay with the defaults.
Make sure that each site has a different subnet associated, make sure that
you have a GC per site this is especially important if you're running
exchange on that site.
You can setup the DC/GC on site and then move it to the remote site.
If you're going to do this on "SITE1" and then move the DC to "SITE2", it
would be better if you could configure the DC/GC with the new ipaddress
(Address of the Site2), this would avoid invalid DNS entries. Then after
configuration just move the box to the new site and setup the new default
gateway.
You can also run Dcpromo /adv on Site2 using IFM (assuming server will be an
additional DC for the domain), this option prevents from large amounts of
replication traffic through the line.

Hi all
I am about to connect a remote office that has around 20 users in it to
the
main office. The connection will be a VPN site to site connection. We are
running Exchange 2003 sp2 at the main office. I was planning on isntalling
a
DC/GC at the remote office, because of the Exchange server i think the
remote
office would be better serverd bu a local GC server at there site, but its
not clear to me if i need to create a second site in AD and then connect
the
defaultfirtssite to the remotesite with a site link? Is this necessary to
do?
the remote sites network ID is 192.168.0.0/24 and the main office network
ID
is 192.168.1.0/24
Also when i setup the secodn DC/GC i was planning on doing that at the
main
site and then ship the server to the remote site. Is this a good way to go
about this?
Many thanks
