| Update and Solution,
|
| Ok firstly I am a little dissapointed with some of the responses to this!
I
| did originally ask that you didnt use supposition and only respond if you
| had actually achieved this.
|
| I can now tell you after achieving this VPN between two SBS servers in
| different physical locations and domains that it works fine and is no
| different to two separate Windows NT/2000/2003 domains using a Site -
Site
| VPN as I originally thought - please read questions more thouroughly and
| dont make speculative assumptions from an "Ivory Tower = All Knowing Eye
| perspective". its good to be wrong sometimes - "Try to think out of the
box
| sometimes", if you are on a site that has this scenario and you tell them
| "It cant be done" or "You have the wrong setup mate" you will have a very
| short career, its nearly always possible somehow even if you do have to
| conjure up things sometimes.
|
| Anyway thats enough of the bitching - thanks for your inputs.
|
| I have to give the Points to Charles for his non-Assumptive approach and
| willingless to help, also to Lethos who has detailed the required steps
that
| achieved some of the goals of Authentication/Name resolution whilst being
| open to the idea that it may/could be done
|
| Fix was apply:
| http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897651
|
| This enabled any one side to make a connection and be able to ping the
| other - but 2 way pings were not possible.
|
| Deactiviated and recreated RRAS on both servers created the Site to Site
VPN
| = Everything works fine now. Branch connects to main office and both
sides
| can ping correctly at the same time - resolved the server names at each
site
| by creating forward zones in DNS for the other side, also put a Static
WINS
| entry to achieve the same thing for netbios names.
|
| Result is that ping to IP or NetBios Name or FQDN work faultlessly.
|
| As these are two unrelated domains had to create SAME user/Pass
combination
| for the particular users to access some resources on the other site -
