Hi You need a ISP agreement and connection then maybe a VPN link or MPLS connection between the sitesJonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Is this a question around Exchange connectivity or AD connectivity or just general connectivity? Mark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:EMA 2K7,EDA Win 7,ES,SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com

If cost is not the concern then the best way is to hire a leased line from ur H.O. to u r branch offices... these leased lines may be MPLS based or Frame-Relay Based.. the service provider will allot u a specific bandwidth which will almost be of fixed rate.. The second option is the VPN... where u can have a VPN connection from ur branch offices to H.O.. and the bandwidth would be ur internet bandwidth.. also note... for configuring very high end security parameters on ur routers for VPN u need high end routers.. like u may need to configure encryption, hashing etc on u r router which eat up the processor cycles of u r router... Also note u can have a site to site VPN connectivity over u r leased line too...!With best regards siddu sajjan : Disclaimer: This posting is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Above gave some good suggestion. The issue seems how to plan the network infratructure, you could post your issue on below forum, this forum for exchange related issue. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/winserverNIS/threads Regards! Gavin

in your case best method is to use "outlook anyware" feature. this will save the cost getting WAN links with isp etc.Dishan M. Francis, Senior Technology Consultant
