I have one office already setup (HQ) with a simple network and domain running W2K Server. We just purchased another office (Site A) about 2 miles away. I want to connect Site A to HQ so that the windows clients can authenticate/share files/printers with HQ from Site A.
What is the best way to do this? I am thinking about just getting 2 Netgear VPN appliances and setting up a dedicated VPN between the two. My question is: Will AD be able to authenticate and will the users be able to get to network shares through the VPN?
I have some knowledge of networking as I took all the CCNA classes about 3 years ago, never took the test though. From what I have read both networks should be on different subnets but other than that is it going to be that easy?
