  Hi Ben,

   

  Thanks for posting here.

   

  Are both sites in same subnet ?I suspect that you may have selected “Use default gateway on remote network” option in VPN connection properties if you are using windows build-in remote connections. All outbound system traffic will be routed to VPN interface because a default route entry will be added after VPN established. You can verify that by checking “route print” result :

  Thanks.

  They are both on the same subnet and "Use default gateway on remote network" is not selected. Is there anywhere I can get the exact procedure for Domain Replication over VPN?

  Many thanks,

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  What VPN are you using PPTP,L2TP, clienet to site,Site to site?

  What equipment do you use to connect (Router, Firewall, RRAS) the two offices. Do the domain controllers hold other roles besides DNS? If the server is both a RRAS and a Domain Controller then that makes it a multihomed DC which is not a recommended configuration nor a supported one by Microsoft.

  "I get remote network access, which is what allows me to synchronise, but no users can login or access the files on this server."

  While connected through the VPN does name resolution function? If you ping servername does it respond? How about when you use ping the FQDN servername.domain.local? - Make sure you set the primary DNS address of the target.

  Please provide more information regarding the network topology of your enviroment. What servers routers are there in each office and how are they configured.

  Hi,

  Can you ping the server?

  You need to make sure that only ONE site is issuing DHCP, for example if you choose your main site it must issue DHCP as per the following:

   

  IP Address: next available in DHCP Pool (On Same Range as Server etc)

  Subnet: Same as Server

  Gateway: Primary router IP at Main site

  Primary DNS: Main DNS server OR AD Server IP address

  Secondary DNS: ISP DNS Address OR Dedicated Internal DNS server which is configured for Internet Zones.

   

  At the remote (non-main) site, ensure that DHCP is turned off and that the DHCP pass-thru is occuring from the main site.

   

  Kind Regards,

  Martin
