http://serverfault.com – We are a small business company that is based in Sydney and opened a new office in London. Number of employees in Sydney office is 25 and in London is 6 employees. So the traffic isn't that high. Files to be transferred are Excel sheets with size of 15mb max. Both locations have MS server 2008 and Fortigate gateways. I set up a site to site vpn but it's extremely slow. Maybe this is because our upload speeds is 1Mbps only but We will increase the upload speed to 20 Mbps in both locations but I am afraid that this will not solve the problem as the 2 locations are far from each (HowTos)

Active Directory Design 1 year 11 weeks ago

Please assist me in how I design my active directory hierarchy based on the following.

We have a corporate office where there 8-10 departments and 200+ <250 users are present. We have two factories and one site office in different geographical locations.

I have one main site with several servers an a 2008/2012 environment. I have 4 remote sites that are physically close (a few miles apart) and are all connected to the main site by 20meg fiber on a private network. At each of the remote locations I have a windows server that users log in to and where their files and apps are located.

There are many considerations to answering this question.

Got a T1-internet connection with a Cisco ASA 5510 appliance in our small office.

We have a site-to-site vpn connection from our office to a remote data center.

Question(s):

1) How can I find out if my site-to-site vpn traffic is being saturated via the Cisco ADSM?

2) Are there other simple/free tools that can show me if my site-to-site vpn connection is being saturated?

Thank-you!

It's sometimes asserted that small businesses lag far behind the corporate sector when it comes to letting employees work from home or other locations away from the main office. But that's not what a survey conducted for Telstra found.

NBN Co yesterday revealed the first five Australian locations which will receive a high-speed wireless connection as part of the nation’s National Broadband Network (NBN) scheme.

The Victorian minister for technology, Gordon Rich-Phillips, has opened Juniper Networks' new office in Melbourne and the company is due to move into new offices in Sydney in two months, giving it space for double staff numbers in both locations.

I am looking to set up a VPN and DMZ solution for a small business. Here is some background and some of their requirements:

The is a small business with maybe a dozen servers and another half-dozen workstations. It provides a public web application with a database backend.

We have two office locations, A and B.

We have two ADSL2+ lines at both A and B, as well as a switch at both sites.

At site A, the ADSL2+ line is plugged into a system running pfSense 2.x, that's currently acting as a router/firewall for the computers at site A.

We have a single Ethernet cable linking site A to site B.

We'd like to use the ADSL2+ line at site B with the pfSense box as a redund

Sorry if this seems simple, I'm mainly a linux guy, having to wear the windows hat from time to time.

In the past, we tried to setup DFS between two sites with server 2008, and it was a disaster. Mainly due to the slow speed of the links between offices.
