Help me plan this domain!



I got a customer with a central office and 30 branch offices. Those
offices have from 1 to 20 users. The branch offices are connected to
the central one using frame relay lines, some with 128K and some (the
bigger ones) with 256K. They use some windows servers and some Unix
Servers. All the servers are located in the central office basically
to host web or dump terminal applications. They tell me that so far
they are happy with the speed response from the network.

They are asking me to install a couple of domain controllers in the
central office in order to implement a domain for the entire
organization. The only domain features they are looking are central
control of the user accounts and policies and using remote desktop to
provide support on the users computers.

Is the speed of the frame relays enough to support the intended domain
features?
