Re: VPN and Domain

You do not need any DC at a remote site. I have plenty of accounts
with satellite offices that work just fine with no additional DCs.
Everything they want and need is at the main office so no DC is wanted
or desired.

They also join the domain without issue using the old fashion way of
joining the domain. Make your vpn connection. Right click My
Computer/name and join from there.
