Hello Dave,
Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank SuperGumby for the input.
According to your description, I understand that you want to replace the
SBS 2000 with Windows server 2003 to work as network gateway for the 4
clients. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let
me know.
Based on my research, you do not want to join the windows server 2003 to
SBS 2003 domain. Therefore the windows server 2003 is a standard windows
domain controller. I suggest you repost your issue in windows server
newsgroup for help.
Windows server AD newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory
Windows server networking newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.server.networking
Personally, I want to show some general suggestions:
1. You need to run the windows server 2003 as DHCP and DNS and gateway of
the office for the 4 clients.
2. You can run dcpromo to make the windows server 2003 to be DC and join
the 4 clients to the domain
3. You need to manually configure the RRAS on the windows server 2003 to
work as NAT gateway for clients to access external VPN and RPC over HTTP
and Internet.
If you do not need domain environment in the satellite office, you can make
the 4 clients work in workgroup, and buy a broadband router replace the 2
NIC windows server 2003 to work as DHCP, DNS and Gateway. I think this will
reduce the cost.
I hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,
Terence Liu (MSFT)
