That shouldn't be a problem. But if you add restrictions (ACL's) to your network for the remote clients be very careful! ;o)

Hey folks: I have about 15 sites that have 2- 5 users/PCs that have "business class" broadband (a bit faster than typical home access). Soon I plan to provide each site a soho firewall and will have a VPN tunnel from each site to here at HQ. I'd love to be able to add these PCs to our domain so I could enforce our various GPOs at these locations. Has anyone done this? I already have several tunnels like this at other locations but haven't added the PCs to the domain. I'm not sure about the cross-tunnel authentication, but if it's not too slow (no mapped drives or logon scripts), I'd do it. It would be nice to have these users log into the domain as well. Comments, suggestions, words of wisdom?
