Also, do i need to replicate the setup at the other end to get Sydney talking to Scotland?

setting the 2008r2-scotland machine as the default gateway on other clients doesnt work. Adding a static route in the gateway to point to 2008r2-scotland doesnt work either. Is there any other static routes i need to configure on 2008R2-Scotland? This is the routing table on 2008r2-scotland: IPv4 Route Table ========================================================================== Active Routes: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metri 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.45 26 60.123.123.23 255.255.255.255 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.45 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 30 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 30 127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 30 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.2.45 26 192.168.2.45 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.2.45 26 192.168.2.164 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.2.164 30 192.168.2.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.2.45 26 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.112 192.168.3.111 26 192.168.3.111 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.3.111 26 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 30 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.2.45 26 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.2.164 30 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.3.111 26 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 30 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.2.45 26 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.2.164 30 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.3.111 26 ========================================================================== From that, 60.123.123.123 is the WAN IP of Sydney, 192.168.3.0/24 is the sydney local net, 192.168.3.111 and 192.168.3.112 are the p2p Ip addresses. I can ping 192.168.3.111 from all scotlnad clients when I add the static route pointing to 2008R2-Scotland to the main degault gw. Cant ping 192.168.3.112 though. I have added a static route in the RAS part of the 2008R2-Scotland which is the reason that machine can ping the remote network, but it doesnt seem to work for other local Scotland clients:

OK, I have made some progress, basically stumbled blindly not really sure what I have done. I have managed to get 2008R2-Scotland to connect to 2008R2-Sydney, the PPP interface gets an IP from Sydney. I can ping from 2008R2-Scotland to the Sydney network I cannot ping from any other Scotland Client to Sydney I cannot ping to Scotland from anywhere in Sydney. I can ping the Sydney IP on the PPP interface of 2008R2-Scotland So the connection seems OK but I need to sort the routing both ways. (and also what port(s) are requrored for RRAS as I have put 2008R2-Sydney in DMZ atm)

is there a step by step (aka idiots guide) to do it with windows server 2008R2?

hmm according the that summary we arent lisened for a fraction of the things we are using hah. I just wonder if since we switched from school3 to ESS if there is perhaps a different login to the licensing site and Im using an old one? Although im not sure why an old one will still be active. I guess Ill need to find out on Monday

no idea the big bad boss does all that stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if we dont have the correct licensing. Although win8 Pro has appeared, and I have activated a copy of enterprise i got from an alternate source with our 8 Pro MAK key successfully.

I dont see it even under software assurance or by searching

Cool cheers, Ill just use windows. Thanks

yes theres a windows 2008R2 at each end. Using Raas is an option but i thought it might be easier using ipsec? Would ISA/TMG/UAG make it easier? Can install one of them (which is the latest?) if its easier than trying to do it straight with windows. its a Netgear DG834GT Adsl with the DGTeam custom firmware at one end, and a TPLink thing at the other end which does have IPSec build in. I was planning on just using another TPLink at the Netgear end when I finally get on site in October.

I want to make an IPSec point to point tunnel between 2 sites, but only one site has a router capable of IPSec VPN, and its not possible to replace the hardware at the other end for another few months. Is there a firewall (software) appliance type thing that I can run in a VM that will do the p2p IPSec and routing between the networks? Smoothwall free perhaps?

I cant find Windows 8 Enterprise on the VL Site.. only professional..

oh, i thought it was around the same time Does the technet version have build number on desktop, build 9000 ?

whens it due up for ESS ?

Ill have a go at setting up a separate network with a different pxe solution. Although your suggestion of USB booting would be a workable solution. Is this something SCCM can do? edit: our SCCM is virtual so not sure how that would work with USB...

Just out of curiosity, do any of you hold any Managerial qualifications or have done any management courses? I am being advised to pursue such things if I am to improve my career options... Just wondering what is the norm..

I will be putting Windows 8 onto our 90 Dell Slates as soon as it appears in my licensing downloads. Hopefully this Friday.

we have it in a couple of classes and it keeps dropping out, is pretty slow, etc. Currently trialling Impero and it seems a lot better.

@AngryTechnician This is the error I am getting trying to PXE boot with SCCM 2012. Any suggestions whats not working? Its running A04 firmware

Been given this to install, and its been a PITA and Ive wasted way too much of my time trying to get this working... Its a network version and it uses SentinelLM as its licensing mechanism. Ive installed the server, the activated the license, but the clients don't seem to be talking to the server to get a license. I believe it uses ports 5093, 5094 and 5096, however running wireshark on the server doesn't seem to show any incoming connections on those ports. Ive got windows firewall disabled on both client and server (win7 / 2008R2Ent) Anyone using this software and got this working?

I didnt setup KMS though that is my problem.

Do i need to do anything to my KMS server to add in the Win8 KMS keys? KMS for W7 was already set up when I started here so not really sure...

the aforementioned has a watermark on the desktop, build 9200, so I dont think its true RTM. (So ive been told)

I didn't see your edit, so modified the legacy attribute, and it seems to have worked. I just got a delivery receipt and no bounce back

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Mailbox rburns |fl *LegacyExch* LegacyExchangeDN : /o=School/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=RBurns [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Mailbox dgregory |fl *LegacyExch* LegacyExchangeDN : /o=School/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Daniel Gregory41b

however i dont get any delivery reciepts when i enable them when sending....
