Isn’t there also concern about
having the 1st 2003 DC in a remote location? I know once you upgrade
your local server to 2003 you can transfer the FSMO roles, but I thought it
would be best to have the 1st 2003 DC local? From: Grillenmeier,
Guido [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] definitely give them an OU and I'd also
urgently suggest you don't make the machine in that remote office a DC at all => first of all it's not required for
15 folks - you'll need it for other things such as file/print (they should easily
be able to authenticate to your main office; assuming NW connectivity - which
you'd also need to setup replication...) => secondly, it's much more secure,
as you will likely not have much physical security in an office of 15 people
and if you're using the one box for everything it's unsecure from a delegation
perspective /Guido From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Kraus Hi, we are setting up a remote office if about 15 people that
will be linked by a vpn. we are buying new servers that have win2003 on them. I have a coupe of questions,I hope you would indulge me
with your opinions. 1: we are planning to upgrade our headquarters the 2003 in
about 3 -4 months. can we setup the new server with 2003 as domain
controllers so we won't have to upgrade them later ? if so anything special we need to do
? IE: forest prep ? 2: We have a raging debate weather to
set them up as a domain or a org unit in their own site. we have a part
time adiminstrator there htat we need to give right to for day to day
admin work. thanks for your help. Jeff Kraus Network Manger NIC Holding Corp. Voice: 631.753.4272 Fax: 631.753.4305 |
