Thanks thought this may be the only solution and static IP was our plan - but thought I would see if anybody had any other brainwaves - thanks for your input

Hi <br />
<br />
We are rolling out a new network to another group within our company set up 2003 DC and exchange all ok but they have multiple sites split by routers.<br />
<br />
Site 1 Main Office<br />
Site 2 Sub Office<br />
Site 3 Warehouse <br />
<br />
The sub office and the warehouse have different IP ranges than the main office and connect through routers with a set default gateway pointing them to the main office. &nbsp;My original plan was to put in normal DHCP scopes etc but this will not cover the multiple IP ranges or the different set default gateways - I see that putting a DC in each site and setting up extra sites would do this but it does not really look worth it for the number of people in the different sites. &nbsp;Also we want to keep the IP ranges per site the same as they are currectly configures (so a re-config of the routers is a no no) any other ideas would e appreciated...
