Hello,

I want to plan for site to site replication. E.g. 1 domain, 2 sites, 2 DCs.

As far as I know, these are the brief steps.

1. Set RRAS server
2. set up VPN policies on both routers
3. Set up primary DC at HQ
4. Set up and additional DC at HQ
5. Move Additional DC to brance site
6. Ping primary DC over VPN
7. Change IP address of secondary DC and wait for replication

Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2 modem router Model: DGN2200.
At the branch site - CISCO SRP527W model

The thing is, I ve heard that its difficult to set up a RRAS server for VPN. So can the routers act as the VPN server? They allow VPN passthrough. Rather than configuring the server to act as the VPN router?

If not, what routers do I need?

Most routers can; if yours cannot, get a real one :-)

Don't forget the AD replication setup: addional site, sitelink, and subnets assocated with thee sites.

Why not just put an SRP (or other halfway decent box) at both sites and have them negotiate the site-to-site tunnels? Easier to leave windows out of that part...

We do this with Juniper SSG boxes.
