I am setting up a disaster recovery site, and I want to add a domain controller offsite. My current site has two domain controllers. I would like to add a 3rd, and replicate changes there. What would be best way to connect these sites for replication? VPN? Would it have to be a two way, or could I simply add a VPN connection to the remote site on the main DC to allow it to sync? I am running Windows Server 2012.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!
