i have a client with 1 main branch and 6 other branches.
on the main branch he has: windows server, AD, exchange, ISA, SQL
on the branches he has: windows server, AD, ISA

just lately he has installed a WAN connection between all branches, what he
wants now is:
1- let all branches receive internet through main branch only.
2- make all branches connected to the exchange in the main branch.
3- create isa array between sites.
4- all branches should be controlled, managed and monitored from the main
server.

what do you recommand to solve this problem? what do i need to do ? some
branches has more than 76 computers, so i can't start everything from zero.

thanks in advance

This is rather a large question for a newsgroup post, I have to say. Also,
you haven't really provided enough information about what already exists in
each of these locations (from an AD standpoint), etc.

dear lanwench,
i needed ur advice about how to join AD's that are already installed and
configured, should i remove the AD from all the branches and create new ones
that are childs or replicas for the main branch ? or is there a way to
integrate all these together.

regards
Sensay
