In building, and deploying my first ever Windows Server 2003, I am profoundly confused on one topic. That is the dhcp, and Internet services side of setting this thing up. I want to know what the best solution is, so far i have come to the conclusion that I should have two nic’s, one for the internal side connected to a switch, and one for the external side connected to the dsl modem. Is this the right direction? (with static IP of course).
My final goal is to have Active Directory humming, with Exhange 2003, and full VPN for two remote locations.
I have gotten this far, as to log in to the domain, however each time it take 5-10 minutes, and i haven’t even started roaming folders! any tips for that too?
