We have a WIndows 2003 Active Directory with single domain (Domain A) in North America. Domain A has two Windows 2003 Domain Controllers and one of DC has DNS, DHCP, Global Catalog and FSMO on it. The subnet is 172.20.0.0/255.255.0.0. (Network A) We have a firewall with VPN for this network.<br />
<br />
We will build a brand new domain (Domain B, Netowork B 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0)<wbr /> in an offshore in Asia with a new Windows 2003 domain controller. We will install DNS/Wins/DHCP on this new domain controller and let it act role of FSMO and Global Catalog. &nbsp;A new firewall with VPN will be setup on this network. <br />
<br />
We'd like setup site-to-site VPN connection between headoffice (Network A) and offshore office (Nework B). We will also want to allow users in Domain B have access to Domain A and certain folders on file servers among two neworks can be replicated automatically.<br />
<br />
How can we add this new Domain B to an existing Windows 2003 Active Directory? How can we realize it?<br />
<br />
Thanks?<br />

How to Add a new domain in an offshore office to an existing Windows 2003 Active Directory?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

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).
