    Best practise - 2 sites SBS 2K3 at one, server 2K3 at the other

    Hi,
    Two sites linked via VPN should I make the remote server a member server
    and also a BDC? Email will be done on the remote clients so that
    http/rpc is available. The remote server will only contain a copy of the
    main data (word docs) after earlier questions on dfs I'll be using
    something like robocopy to keep the two locations in sync.
    Thanks
    Simon

    Server at second site should a domain controller, DNS Server, Global Catalog Server, WINS Server and probably DHCP
