important case study for a client

[Guest Sensay]

i have a client with 1 main branch and 6 other branches.

on the main branch he has: windows server, AD, exchange, ISA, SQL

on the branches he has: windows server, AD, ISA

 

just lately he has installed a WAN connection between all branches, what he

wants now is:

1- let all branches receive internet through main branch only.

2- make all branches connected to the exchange in the main branch.

3- create isa array between sites.

4- all branches should be controlled, managed and monitored from the main

server.

 

what do you recommand to solve this problem? what do i need to do ? some

branches has more than 76 computers, so i can't start everything from zero.

 

thanks in advance

This is rather a large question for a newsgroup post, I have to say. Also,

you haven't really provided enough information about what already exists in

each of these locations (from an AD standpoint), etc.

Re: important case study for a client

 

dear lanwench,

i needed ur advice about how to join AD's that are already installed and

configured, should i remove the AD from all the branches and create new ones

that are childs or replicas for the main branch ? or is there a way to

integrate all these together.

 

regards
