Hi,

Thanks for e advice, appreciate it. We are not looking in VPN cos the
clients are not connected to Internet.

The Internet is neither important nor necessary to the idea of
a VPN.

We were suggesting that you let the clients connect through
a VPN that is allowed to penetrate your firewall. (You can
use authentication to get the clients validated for that VPN
connection too.)

Something like DMZ. The AD are within 10.20.X.X, clients within
192.X.X.X.
Firewall between them.

Open a VPN through firewall, but only for clients that can
authenticated (VPN user credentials, IPSec, RADIUS or
some such).

I read the articles u given to me but it is for replication. I am
looking
out more on ports to allow clients
to communicate with AD. Any ideas?

Yes, you can get those either through the articles Laura gave you
or through other similar ones....

Just Google:

[ site:microsoft.com "active directory" authenticate open ports ]

...or some such -- I have found this easily on past occasions, so let
me know if you cannot find it yourself.
