Depends how much traffic they're producing. More than likely no. Unless there's an option to drop some lines from the remote office to a Telco, satellite is your only option breh :yeshrug:



Can't do Frame without access to a telco.

Oh.. he cant go through Telco? I didnt read the entire initial post.

Ok.. I'd say go through satelite provider, then. Or whoever can provide some sort of point to point service.

Who the fukk gonna build a satellite office out in the middle of nowhere though :childplease:

It's a stupid example, professor deserves to be thrown in the bushes :birdman:

I need help, this is my final project for my Networking degree. What is the best way for me to connect these satellite offices ? I was gonna just run fiber but that would cost way to much, and then I was gonna do a VPN but the satellite offices don't have internet. :sadbron:

You have been hired by Roman Motor Company to design and implement a networking solution for their main office and for two satellite offices in different parts of town. Their main office is located approximately ten miles from each of the satellite offices in opposite directions. The main office is provided with Internet access from the local telephone company in the form of a shared T1 line. Roman Motor Company plans to add at least one new satellite office within the next five years, providing that the business continues to grow as forecasted. At present, employees at the satellite offices have their own computer and networking systems that are completely separate from the main office, and manually take their backups to the main office, which is becoming very cumbersome. You must determine the best way to connect the satellite offices back to the main office. Upon initial planning, the following network requirements have been identified:

• Purchase and setup the proper networking equipment (including an IP addressing solution) within each satellite office in order for a secure, highly-available connection back to the main office. The inventory and sales systems in place in the satellite locations are consistent with the main office.
• Provide kiosks in the satellite locations where customers can have Internet access to look up CARFAX® information and do price comparisons with other car dealers in the area. These kiosk machines should not be able to access any of the other network resources in the offices, but should have the ability to print out information.
• Provide for additional capacity as the new satellite office is brought ‘online’
• Provide for centralized printing for invoicing and financial documentation for sales.
• Provide for limited downtime
• Provide for centralized management and control of the computers in the two offices, as well as those in the main office, so that you can maintain the network from off-site
• Provide for long-term cost effectiveness
• Provide a suite of software tools for the employees to effectively communicate with each other at all locations.

The company does not have any networking equipment at the satellite locations, but does have one computer at each of the satellite offices where the sales personnel can access the same sales software that is used at the main office, although it is not tied to the main office. Your plan should include a complete network system that meets these requirements and allows for future expansion plans.

One of the satellite locations is located within a suburban area that has current technological infrastructures and related technology offerings. The other location currently does not have access to the phone company network or the local cable company broadband network.

Complete your proposal including costs for computing equipment for the kiosks, network infrastructure, network servers, printers, and related hardware, software, and accessories. Include as much detail as possible as well as justification as to your selections. Diagram and explain your physical network and computer design as well as the logical network design (server installation, domain layout, etc.). You are also required to complete a project timeline for this proposal. As you are a working for a small business, cost is a major factor and should be minimized.

Typical CCNA stuff. :obama3:

PM me if none of these "so called" IT gurus can't help ya.
Do you have Microsoft visio?

Good engineers always have to visualize before they deploy. DRAW IT OUT :shaq2:

logical and physical topology

Use Windows SBS (or whatever it's called) install Active Directory, and join the machines to the domain. Deploy whatever remote control software (or just use group policy to configure RDP on all client/server machines). Grant access to admins only
Think you meant windows SMS. havent fukked with those since i was an intern.

He will also need an Exchange server for his communications and Sharepoint would be another good tool for inter office doc. Both tools that work hand in hand with Active Directory

Why are we talking windows and AD when the project clearly states cost is a factor?????

What happened to Linux?:comeon: which is FREE?

if they want centralized authentication radius and LDAP can work fine. You start talking AD if cost is not a factor

I guess you're right. My Linux experience deals only with Solaris OS and Redhat. It's mostly for our own SW which incorporates PostFix, Oracle, Asterix, Ldap and shyt load of other stuff) so I dont have exposure to any AD-like tools on the linux side

Outside of school the only place i deployed AD was with a company where I interned (Hughes Telematics) who had all the money to burn. The second one was a non-profit organization and the guys there got Microsoft to give it to them for free and I just helped install and deploy it.

I still have the image :unsure:

Talk about a small world.... I deployed a network for Hughes to support their Spaceway satellites network last year.
Heck I have one of those Hughes terminals at home which I used for testing.

Technically you are right. AD is much easier than Linux because of the well designed GUI but some companies want cheap stuff so...Personally I prefer it and try to steer clear of Linux deployments

Naw, SMS is now SCCM. SMS/SCCM is system management. SBS was Small Business Server. It had Windows/Exchange and some other Microsoft product all in one. Them nikkas probably changed the name.

EDIT: yep it's called small business essentials now.

Really makes no point to deploy SharePoint for a company that small that's worrying about budget and shyt. But what do I know, I'm just another lost demon :demonic:

Breh, have you ever been a system admin? You giving the nikka bad advice. There's a reason very few companies deploy SAMBA, and even less deploy OpenLDAP. The administrative costs alone will kill him. How is he going to centrally manage those machines using SAMAB/OpenLDAP (hint he can't).

And you don't deploy AD just because it has a nice GUI :mindblown:

You deploy AD because you can centrally administer and control every trusted machine on your network. You can deploy software, disk encryption, operating system, and security settings all from group policy.

Stick to voice breh :comeon:

Deploying AD isn't expensive. SBS/Server Essentials is made for this type of scenario. And who the fukk would use RADIUS as an authentication store for desktops?

First of of all Linux is more secure than windows so clearly if you are talking security you have no idea what you are talking about.

Secondly the administrative cost of Linux comes in because they are not a whole lot of us.

Thirdly redhat/Centos(free version) has a nice centrally manged network (LDAP or Radius)

Fourthly have you are deployed an open source network? because you sound ignorant about the power of Linux and it's capabilities.

LINUX is FREE. Most IT network shops run on Linux directory system.
Over here we only use barely authenticate to AD for a few components which support windows.

Authenticating a user to an LDAP or Radius system is not that complex to setup.
