Hi
First of all my apologies for cross posting, but this covers many issues
that I do not think may be possible to cover in a single post. If I have
underestimated the skills in the community, again my apologies.
I have a major redesign of our network to undertake - without impinging on
the business operation. I can't really do a weekend as we are a 24/7
operation.
I need to move from 1 scenario to another and am looking for the best way of
doing it - these follow.
Current Scenario -
Externally managed Linux Server with 3 ADSL lines acting as Gateway/DHCP
Server/Firewall/VPN Server (OpenVPN)/File Server
Windows 2K3 R2 servers managing DNS/Active Directory/Exchange (including
external RPC over HTTP access)/File & Print Services.
Future Scenario - Everything managed in a Windows 2K3 R2 environment with a
leased line, intersite VPN (have office in London & Doncaster) and a
firewall with a DMZ for a Application Web Server running on Red Hat
Enterprise (which I can't change as it was in place when I arrived).
I already have the leased line in place (but not yet used) and have
purchased ISA Server 2006. My issues are
1) How do I move DHCP to Windows without interrupting Internet access for
the main site?
2) Will this affect VPN access, both individual and intersite?
3) I need to change the gateway for the main site to the leased line while
(for the present) leaving VPN access through the Linux box. This will
utilise ISA Server, which will eventually handle all firewall operations.
What is the best way to achieve this?
4) Anything else I need to be aware of?
When all this is complete I will then de-commission the Linux gateway/server
and have everything handled internally.
Sorry for the length but this is (for me) a complex project I need to do in
a short space of time
Thanks in advance
