Need to joing a member server to domain over site-to-site VPN
We're setting up a remote office with Sonicwall site-to-site VPN and Windows Server 2008 standard as a member serer. The PDC is Win2k8 as well
I would appreciate any input, step by step procedures and things to look out for while doing this project.

Consider making the remote office DC a read only domain controller (RDOC). Frequently remote office servers have to operate in an unsecure environment.

that's a good idea Micheal, for RDOC

sorry guys for long inactivity on this topic
I just got the server, setup the site to site VPN and joined the server to the domain as a member server.
Now I need to run dcpromo, so it's a secondary DC
Would appreciate any advise on doing this?

I may go with RDOC, just ran into a probelem where it say I need to run adprep /foresprep first but then when I run it it say it's not a domain controller so I can run it - Catch 22
How do I get around it?

the primary DC is a 2008 server, should I do something differently in this case?

nappy_d, I don't - maybe I should make it a secondary DC?
Do I later need to configure anything in AD Sites & Services MMC snap in? they will be on different subnets
