My firs thoughts were to use SBS 2003. We have an unused SBS 2000 with enough CAL's gathering dust and I made some inquiries about buying an upgrade to SBS 2003 standard edition. It's a company with only 10 employees so SBS would fit perfectly. They will be expanding a bit but not that much that SBS should be scrapped within two years.

I just stumbled upon the terminal server limitation in SBS The load will be on the DC witch is also acting as a mail server, print server and fileserver so the TS could be a lighter server then the DC is as long as there is enough power to serve a maximum of 5 simultaneous TS users. This might be an option. I'll do some investigating tomorrow and talk to my CEO when he's in the office on Thursday.

The trust over a VPN connection using default Windows tools would be nice. I'll also look into that but I don't have high hopes because they told me it should be 100% separated networks like a hundred times no matter what I told them \:\( I've been doing a lot of searching today and all I got was no, cannot be done, no way, not possible, etc.., etc.. Although I also found the link Gaven posted. It might be worth a try. I'll download a trial and see if it works and how it works when I'm back at the office tomorrow but my money is on a TS session for all "foreign users" on the new network.

So far thanks for the info guys.
