Sub Domain and Site Replication
I have a corporate AD domain running on 2008 servers, for this question it is called X.com.
I also have an engineering group at a separate site, we are creating a separate network for them and want to add them as eng.x.com, they are running 2012
So, adding the subdomain to my AD should be easy, but since they are at another lcation, I am going to need to do Site replication and a bridgehead server, correct?
I have read up on doing the site replication and bridgehead server and how it works. But, I have a few questions.
1-I will need to setup an permanent VPN tunnel up between the 2 sites correct?
2-I am assuming that I have the right idea here.
3-When I setup the new controller on the new network, I don't have to be connected to the Corporate network?
Any other suggestions/information you can provide would be extremely helplful.

Sandeshdubey, brings up a very good point. You really should limit the number of domains you create unless it is absolutely necessary. You should only create a new domain if there is a requirement for the sub-domain to govern themselves. Although for true separate to control in high security environments is to create a separate forest since it is possible of a sub-domain admin to elevate there rights to be an enterprise admin.

I have been convinced that we will do a site and not a sub domain. Thanks
Now I just have to get the step by steps for setting it up on the 2008 server and 2012 server.

I was reading up on this on another forum..that it would not be a good idea to have my RRAS server and my DC on the same server?
I have that currently on my 2008 AD server, but from what I read having the RRAS server on the DC in a replication setup could be a problem?
