We currently have 1 Exchange 2003 server at HQ for ~60 users. Management has decided to open a remote office and move 12 users off to remote location. The location will be linked T1 using ipsec VPN betweeen HQ and Remote using ASA 5505's. I plan on setting up a DC at remote location. The remote users will need access to shared public folders. Should I setup a Exchange 2003 server at the remote location for 12 users? Or should I just have traffic go through VPN back to HQ SMTP? Will this cause a bottleneck? Any sugesstions on how to best configure this setup? Dave Santel

It will be a MPLS 1.5 MB T1. 10 voip phones will be riding off this MPLS circuit as well but no heavy phone usage.Dave Santel

Hello, I also recommend to use Outlook Anywhere for these users. Thanks, Simon
