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 -
