I have a client who runs AD on Win2003 with Exchange. They now require a branch office setup that does not have access to permanent internet connectivity. The best they can get is ISDN dialup. Now there is a domain controller who is a member server of the AD forest at HO and Exchange is to be setup at the branch office as well. What is the best way to setup a dialup routine that will periodically (eg every 2 hours) dialup to the HO network and synchronise AD. In addition, I would like Exchange to route the mail for the users that are on the other exchange server down to the branch exchange server when the connection is up. I need help on this real fast. Please ... if you can give me any advice!?

How do I setup inter-branch dialup connectivity that periodically dials between servers to synchronise Active Directory and Exchange mail

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
