I am looking for some options for my business when it comes to VPN. I have 13 retail locations and 1 corporate office that currently is connected via Sonicwall site2site vpn. I want to move away from the Sonicwall VPN and go to another solution where I can have a reliable VPN that is always on.
Right now I don't have a Domain Controller but I want to install one soon with Windows Server 2012 at my corporate office. I want to have more control over my PCs in my stores (about 10 PCs in one store). My issue is that when my corporate office's power goes out or our T1 is down the other users on the VPN at the retail sites will not be able to connect to the DC and wont be able to log into their workstation.
What options do I have so my sites can always have connection to the DC? Do I look at hosted solutions? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
