Help needed with my domain

Here's my situation.

I have SBS2000 with Exchange in a Central office - ROOT
DOMAIN.

There is another small office that has a W2K Server and 6
users. However, that office is not a domain. The server
is logged in locally. The users login to their machine
locally, but the server does provide some file and printer
sharing that users have access to.

My goal is to connect those users to our domain and have
them log on our domain back at the central office. So I
need to create a Organizational Unit in AD on our root
domain. This is my first time trying to set something
like this up on a Point to point T1. Where should I
start??

no trusts allowed! The only thing you can do is PTA.....same
username/password in both.

thanks for your reply, but you can elaborate a little
more...what's PTA?

If you have a permanent connection between these two servers... you could
join the offsite server to the SBS domain. Then dcpromo it... and set it up
so the clients are autheticated by this one.

This way everyone is in the same domain... the only thing is that you will
need 7 SBS CALs for the remote site (and the CALs that you had previously
with Win2k won't be needed anymore).

PTA = Pass-Thru Authentication. (creating the same set of
usernames/passwords in both servers so they act like they are authenticated
in both)

Mark comments are true... but I think they have little to do with what you
really want to do. I mean... you don't even have a domain at the other site
(so we shouldn't be even talking about trusts). IMHO of course :-)
