Guest Artificer Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I got a customer with a central office and 30 branch offices. Those offices have from 1 to 20 users. The branch offices are connected to the central one using frame relay lines, some with 128K and some (the bigger ones) with 256K. They use some windows servers and some Unix Servers. All the servers are located in the central office basically to host web or dump terminal applications. They tell me that so far they are happy with the speed response from the network. They are asking me to install a couple of domain controllers in the central office in order to implement a domain for the entire organization. The only domain features they are looking are central control of the user accounts and policies and using remote desktop to provide support on the users computers. Is the speed of the frame relays enough to support the intended domain features?
