Sorry for the long wait to reply: How many DCs are there in the domain? 1. It is an SBS 2003 server at one location, and a member server (2003) at a branch location. What does the network topology look like? Both locations have similar configs. Both servers are multi-homed. Internet router connected to 1 NIC on server with Internet facing IP. LAN connected to other MIC with LAN facing IP. ISA 2006 used at both sites. For further investigation, could you please collect the MPS report from the DC? Will do.

Do not know. I will find out. · Cannot view a web site hosted on a remote server that is connected via a VPN tunnel · Error message? Standard IE error when you cannot resolve IP.
