Re: WAN Latency affect on logon traffic

Hi
The number of user might not be important, but what those users need to do
trough the WAN link, authentication, name resolution, internet, AD
authentication traffic, Apps,etc. Is different to have 300 users that only
need to authenticate against the existent DCs and have 300 users that
besides authentication they also need to access to some application that you
might have in main office (SQL,Exchange,etc).
Monitor and get the max information about that then decide if you need a Wan
Link upgrade or not.

I hope that the information above helps you

Hello all,

I am working on an AD design for a company that does not have physically
secure branch offices. The WAN links are reliable with decent latency
(sub
~120ms max).
Has anyone deployed a centralized AD design with no branch office DCs
where
there were up to 300 users remotely? Bandwidth of up to 10-15MB/s (maybe
more if we really need it) would be available for these users but my
concern
is whether the WAN latency has a major impact on AD authentication
traffic.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.
