Hi, I am looking at setting up a remote office and was wondering if using a Synology NAS connected to a Windows Domain across a VPN would be a viable option. The users would connect to the NAS at the remote office for files and such but the user management would be handled by the Windows Domain.
Some of my concerns would be:
What would happen if the VPN went down?
Would the users at the remote office still be able to connect to files?
Is the forest level required to be 2008 R2?
Set the NAS as a secondary DC or join it as a client?
Any experiences/thoughts with this type of setup would be appreciated.
