i have a client that has 2 offices in 2 different locations (2 hour drive apart). he is migrating to a new software system for his practice(dental pratcice software) he purchased 2 new dedicated servers. server (1) is running windows server 2003 r2 enterprisewith a domain controller being run on it. this is also the server that will be running the practice database. server (2) is running the same operating system but is set to be used as a terminal server but is not configured. both are in location (a). he needs all of the computers from location (a) & (g) to be able to access the software database which is on server(1). both offices are on dsl connections with static ip gateways. i need help with: setting up server (2) to accept incoming connections from location (g) and once location (g) can access terninal server, be able to log those computers into the domain through server(1). both locations are using manageable linksys routers. i did not originally setup the routers but have access to go in and change settings if need be. location (a) has staic ip address of 71.130.9x.xxx. location (g) has static ip address of 71.130.9x.xxx. i currently have an internal static ip address for server(1) of 192.168.2.10 which is outside the dhcp range of this router of 192.168.2.100-149. i have setup several servers before but have zero experience with setting up a terminal server wand would greatly appreciate any help with this. i would also like some help setting up remote access for all servers and workstations without messing up any other configurations needed.
thanks in advance.

You may wish to get professional local help. Patient privacy laws and data security may be more important in this case.

Most setups use some sort of secure tracffic. SSL.https and VPN's become quite complex for proper security. Best practices should be set for the least permissions needed to do job. If you insist I suggest using certificate based authentication. You can make a self signed cert and deliver it by flash or cd. Be sure to change in every so often. Any time you have people with physical access to a machine you run the risk of data loss.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
