Re: Remote access to LCS |

If there is a network VPN setup and allows them to function as if they on
the remote LAN, you may simply be able to create an account for them on the
other domain, you may be able to create an account on the other (remove)
domain and enable it for LCS.
The users should be able to connect via TCP (it could be a problem if the
VPN clients are NATted...if so, follow-up) using the SIP URI (similar to an
e-mail address) for the other domain, the username for the other domain, and
the password for the other domain. If you have TLS enabled and you want to
use TLS, there are some hoops (DNS, Certificate chain) to jump through.
You are probably going to have a few issues with usernames and passwords,
possibly requiring current usernames to be normalized.
Yes, there are probably more complex methodologies for getting this to
work...but I prefer the easy stuff first =^). That is going to be a lot
simpler than implmenting MIIS (well, the MIIS Feature Pack...

) to synch up the account names and passwords...and that is also a possible
solution.

60
miles away. We want to be able to give users in that office access to our
LCS 2003 server. They currently all log into a Windows 2000 AD domain,
our
office currently does not have a login domain except for the one our LCS
server is installed into but that is not used by any client computers. We
have installed a vpn link between the offices but cannot get the Messenger
service working.
Any ideas on how to acheive this?, all of the internal users at the main
office can login to Messenger withou any problems.
Thanks
