Setup
Main Offices Branch Offices
Main Office 1 - 192.168.1.0/24 Branch Office 1 - 192.168.3.0/24
Main Office 2 - 192.168.2.0/24 Branch Office 2 - 192.168.4.0/24
Branch Office 3 - 192.168.5.0/24
- All offices are connected on an MPLS that always connectivity to ALL subnet. Therefore, as long as have the right credentials, I can basically accessed any shared resource.
- There are only 2 domains and they are configured in the main offices each, i.e. Domain A - Main Office 1, Domain B - Main Office 2. Machines in the branch offices are workgroup joined for there are no servers present.
- Server 2012 run in the main offices
Goal
I would like to join the branch office machines to Domain B in the Main Office 2 for manageability purposes.
However, even though I can ping the DC's in Main Office 2 (192.168.2.0/24), I cannot join the domain. Laptop users is easy for when they are in the vicinity, I simply connect them to the network and presto. Desktop users are my main concern.
What technology (Direct Access maybe?) do I require to facilitate this, and how would I configure it.
