HI Wael,

I am sorry for not clear the issue, here I would like to post how to deploy
an additional DC on the remote site, hope that helpful to your issue:

Generally speaking, it is a good idea to deploy a DC on the remote site
while establish a VPN connection to main site where SBS exists, it will
reduce a lot of traffic. The local workstation will logon to the local DC.
For your convenience, I would like to give you some suggestion on this
issue:

Here I suggest you use the configure site in Active directory to create
multiple sites for your branch office. Sites are one or more TCP/IP subnets
with highly reliable and fast network connections. Site information allows
administrators to configure Active Directory access and replication to
optimize usage of the physical network. Sites are represented in Active
Directory as site objects. Site objects are a set of subnets, and each
domain controller in a forest is associated with an Active Directory site
according to its IP address. You can refer to the following link for more
detailed information about site object in Active Directory:

t/1038d210-c07c-4cde-ad08-a4079b9a8ff0.mspx

Based on my knowledge, replication between sites is compressed to minimize
the cost of transmission over WAN links. When replication occurs between
sites, a single domain controller per domain at each site collects and
stores the directory changes and communicates them at a scheduled time to a
domain controller in another site. Due to low speed of WAN link, it your
best interest to deploy site link for branch office and customize the site
link to synchronize data with SBS server for example 2 hours once. You can
refer to the steps below to configure and customize the site link:

Also as your convenience, I would like to give you some information about
deploying additional DC on SBS 2003 domain. Generally speaking, there is no
much difference between the SBS 2003 server and standard 2003 server to
setup additional DC. You can refer to the following documents to deploy
additional DC in branch office on SBS domain:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/windows2000serv/technologies/active
directory/deploy/adguide/addeploy/addch07.mspx

In addition, you may need to know about the properly configuration for the
license on every additional DC, please refer to the following section for
detailed steps:

A. Go to the additional Windows servers, open Services console in
''Administrative Tools''. Make sure that the ''License Logging services''
is running.

B. Go to the SBS 2003 server, open ''Active Directory Sites and
Services''. Click on Default-First-Site-Name and the double click on
Licensing Site on the right. Make sure that the SBS 2003 server is the
Licensing Computer.

C. Go to the additional servers, open ''Licensing'' console in
''Administrative Tools''. Set the licensing mode of the additional Windows
server to ''Per Seat''/''Per Device'' mode. The number of licenses should
be set to be equal to the number of SBS client access license (CAL). You
can select License->New License from the menu and then select Windows
Server from the dropdown and specify the same number of license that your
SBS server has.

updates.

| Hi Charles,
|
| The problem was solved after unblocking ICMP requests on the firewall
| and changing the group policy settings as you suggested. The solution
| of the SBS DC sounds interesting, but I went through the threads a few
| times and didn't find the details of how it is done. Do you mind
| reposting it?
|
| Thanks for your great help
