domain controllers over vpn

Hi all,

What is best practice for setting up another domain
controller on a network that will eventually be connected
by two vpn devices? Setup the two domain controllers at
one location then transport it to the second location or
setup up one domain controller, establish the site to site
vpn, and then setup the second domain controller over the
vpn tunnel?

Thanks,
Lucian

That's what I would do. I would hate to have to try to set it up using the
slow VPN,...it's much easier to set it up with them local to each other and
the then transport it if you can.

Remember that VPN is a slow link and you could end up with a lot of
replication problems. I think MS has some white papers on the proper way to
rig up AD over slow WAN links.
