Re: Connect users from remote branch office to SBS

Anna,

Both LazyJeff and Claus are right,hardwareVPN is a better way to go. A few things to consider, SBS, out of the box,has only 5 VPN addresses, you need to increase that mumber. Your 804v router and only handle 4 PPTP Tunnel connections (16 if your using IPSec). Claus's recommendation will save time, reduce your problems and saves money.

I have a SBS 2003 r2 Premium server at the main office. There are two
branch offices i would like to connect back to the main office.

The current info is as follows..

Main Office

Subnet 192.168.18.0

Office one - 6 users - one server computer and 6 workstations

Subnet 192.168.16.0

Office two - 3 users - 2 workstation computers

Subnet 192.168.123.0


I currently have the offices connected via ISA VPN Remote Site
Connections ie the main site has two nics and is using ISA and branch
offices are using D-Link 804HV routers via a dsl link.

The connections are up and running and the users can access their
emails via OWA, which is all they are doing at the moment. I would
like the users to beable to connect to the main office to access and
save documents, and connect to the intranet which has been setup up
via sharepoint.

Once this has been achieved i would like the users to beable to
connect to a terminal server at the main office to run applications.

At the moment users are unable to access intranet, and when trying to
access OWA they need to type in the IP address of the server computer
rather than the name...ie http://192.168.18.2/exchange/username...then
they are able to access emails after receiving a certificate error.

From what i have read i should beable to setup the server in Office
one as a backup dc so clients at the office can authenticate through
the local server rather than the main office.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to beable to achieve the
above?

Thank-you

Anna
