Yeah, I knew it was going that route. So another question please. All of these remotes are 512k uploads, they are all very remote. See any issues with this?

Pertino works well for me. You've got to make sure your Domain Controller has IPv6 and IPv4 addresses registered for itself in DNS, and you're set.

Might want to look at putting a DC at each site and VPN the DCs - if you are going to have slow upload speeds. Besides authentication - what else will the remote offices use the parent DC (or any...

Last time I checked, a VPN could be considered 'network configuration wizardry'!

I would use Peplink Routers and site-site VPN. I'd stay away from DirectAccess, although it is awesome, it requires the ENTERPRISE edition of Win7 or 8 and only works on those. It's great when it...
