Hello Edhy,
Thank you for kind update.
From your description, I understand that the laptop move between mainoffice and branch offices, and you want to make it can easy to access share
printers and folders on each network.
Based on my research, I want to give you 3 methods to help you:
Method 1:
At each network, please share all printers and folders the laptop user
wants to access as Everyone can access. On Properties of the printer or
folder, under sharing and security tap, please add Everyone with permission
you want. Then the laptop no need to join domain, just as a workgroup, it
can access printers and folders in each network.
Method 2:
Please configure the 3 separate domains as same domain name, create a same
account on each domain with same password, then the laptop can log on 3
domains with only one account, and access all printers and folders in each
domain with this account. I do not recommend this method, because you will
find it is very suffering when you want to unite the 3 domains in further.
Method 3:
Create an account for this laptop user in each domain, when it moves
between domains, the user can log on with different account, and the user
can access all printers and folders as normal.
Hope info above will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,
Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Hi Terence,
| Thanks for the suggestion, but I wanted to stay away from VPN just for
now, that way, each branch is independent of any possible Server down at
the main office and I do love all the features and wizard of SBS versus the
plain W2K3.
| You understand it correctly, all I really want to do is easy the laptop
connection at all branches, for that I am using the same Wireless setup and
security, but don't really know how printers shared at the branches will
get connected to the laptop unless I keep the laptop user in all branches
server, of course the laptop will be join as a workgroup.

| Hello Edhy,
| Thank you for posting here.
| According to your description, I understand that you want to know
whether
| configure the branch offices as the same domain name of main office. If
I
| have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.
| Based on your situation and my research, I suggest:
| 1. Setup the VPN connections between main office and branch offices.
You
| can setup VPN connection by your edge firewalls or routes on each
office.
| 2. Join the branch offices' servers to main office SBS domain
| (mainoffice.local) as additional servers
| Note: please ensure the offices' servers are not SBS server (I suggest
use
| Windows server 2003), we can not place more than one SBS server in one
domain.
| The following conditions must be true after you install the SBS 2003
| computer
| The new SBS 2003 computer must be a domain controller that is installed
on
| the root of the domain.
| The new SBS 2003 computer must hold all the Flexible Single Master
| Operation (FSMO) roles.
| The new SBS 2003 computer must be a global catalog server and must be
the
| licensing server.
| There must not be any existing domain trusts or child domains.
| Only one SBS server can exist on the domain. If SBS 2003 is installed,
no
| other SBS 2003 or 2000 server can be installed on the same domain.
| 3. Then the mobile laptop connects to the domain network via the
wireless
| access point in main office. At this time, the laptop can access all
share
| folders and printers on main office and each branch office.
| Meanwhile, when the mobile laptop setup connection with main office via
the
| wireless access point, it can connect RDP on the whole network.
| Hope info above will give you some help.
| Thanks and have a nice day!

| | Hi all,
| | I have the following scenario with SBS2005R2:
| | a.. I Have one Main Office with SBS and Exchange setup with the
| following domain like: MainOffice.Local and a wireless access point.
| | b.. Customer is now opening 2 new branch offices and a Laptop with
its
| own mobile broadband connection.
| | The laptop should be able to while not around the offices to connect
via
| Remote Desktop (which I have done) but also when at any of the office
been
| able to use the SBS printers and shares.
| | In order to allow the laptop to use the shares in each office (via
the
| wireless access point) should I configure the 2nd and 3rd server with
the
| same domain name?
| | So far these servers will not be used with VPN with each other, but
that
| may be a possibility in the future.
| | Thanks.
