Hey all,
I finally got a decent tech job about two hours from my house. Needless to say I had to move. My apartment is small, so I took only about four laptops and five desktops with me. My issue is, the systems were joined to a Windows domain.
I am wondering if I should just either; disjoin the computers from the domain altogether and just use the systems in a workgroup (not preferred), setup a new DNS/DC at my new apartment (which is no problem and preferred), or simply setup VPN at home on an SBS 2003 server so systems still on the domain can VPN to home when I need/want them to and still be a part of the domain there.
I have already tried creating another DC at home and seeing if it would survive being separated from the other DCs without a huge amount of problem. This didn't go over too well, or I missed a configuration step some where.
Or, if there is an easier or more efficient way of doing this, how would you go about it?
I would prefer to keep the systems on a domain for easier PW management and logon scripts (such as for mapped drives).
Thanks guys...
