Branch Office Setup
|
From: Colin on 12 Apr 2010 14:36 Hi all, I need to install a TS box at a client's remote office to allow several remote users to access their 'virtual' desktops. The main office has a SBS 2003 R2 box. This is where I intend to install the TS box. Several users will be relocated at a new remote office and will need to access accounting software (Sage Line 50) installed on the SBS at the main office. They also need access to docs, spreadsheets, pdf's etc. These will need to be printed to a local printer at the remote office. My thoughts are to install the TS box and also establish a site to site VPN (Watchguard appliances). Can somebody point me in the right direction here on where to start ? Is this the 'right' way to do this ? Any better ways ? Many thanks. Regards Colin.

Many thanks. > Use the Site-Site VPN to map printers from the Terminal Server/SBS machine to their remote office, so that the printers show up properly for the Terminal Server users instead of trying to rely on printer mapping in t/s sessions - in other words, install the printers across the VPN to the TS/SBS box as local printers - it will make your life easier. Also, you may not want to do the Terminal Sessions via the Site-Site VPN, you can map a connection from the public through the firewall and allow their remote office public IP to connect directly using RDP. I have about 45 locations like this, also using WG appliances. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

I don't see where this OP is asking about dual wan. There is a different thread about that topic today.
