VPN's

I have two dental offices, one has a brand new server MS 2003 (down graded from 2008 Server due to software limitation related to the dental field) Lets call that LOC A. The location that does not have a server lets call that LOC B is getting a SonicWall TZ 210, wireless capable. They will have a broadband connection with cable provider 1. CP1. I want to create a set up where I can have a VNP between the LOC A & B. And have all client workstations be able to use the software on the server in LOC A. there is another twist, LOC A has has a different cable provider, let call the CP2.

To summerise:
Loc A has server
Loc B no server
Loc B to get SonicWall TX 210.

Desired outcome, VPN that is ALWAYS ON. and All workstations at both location can use the software on Location B.

As a high level it should work. you will need a vpn device at each site and set it up to make all traffic from B go to A. also a VPN is not always on because it should have a timeout but once traffic needs to go between site the vpn will come up.

Could the Terminal Server be on the Windows 2003 Server?

If it is server 2003 and not Small Business Server 2003, yes. However, if it is a domain controller, it is STRONGLY discouraged by Microsoft from a security point of view, and it can be difficult to configure on a Domain Controller due to policies automatically applied with the DC configuration.
