Hi All,

Currently have SBS2003 in main office with 15 clients. We also have a
satellite office with 4 users who have a SBS2000 server and they access
email via RPC over HTTP using outlook 2003. This works well but the SBS200
server needs replacing and I have a replacement server with a new Windows
2003 server OS, (with 2 NICs). I don't need it as a remote DC but just need
to set it up so users can continue to access the main server via RPC over
HTTP.

I am used to SBS2003 so not sure how to set up the windows 2003 server. Do I
set up DHCP then run DCPromo to set up AD then add my four users? I want to
be able to occasionally access the remote server via VPN do I need to do
anything else. There is no firewall except what comes with Windows 2003 and
the router. Charity application so cost is an issue here. Any guides for
setting up the W2003 server would be a great help as I'm spoilt by all the
wonderful wizards in SBS.

Cheers, David
