Thank you for replie but half of machines will still be
98 so local cache credentilas will not work

via a T1 I don't think you even need to have local DCs.
Clients at the remote offices will still be able to log
on and access resources if the network is available
because of cached credentials. If your network is full
fledged T1s then there shouldn't be any network outages
long enough to run into the problem of cached credentials
expiring.

>What I would look at is the network load on the T1s, the
estimated logon traffic generated by 1k users and compare
that to the estimated replication traffic generated by
AD. Often times in a fairly large AD environment you will
find that the authentication traffic of 1k users will be
smaller than the replication traffic of AD. If your T1
connections can support the authentication traffic of 1k
users then I wouldn't bother putting a local DC at those
locations. Just make sure you size your main office DCs
to support the load of the remote offices.
