Join the Router to the Domain

After you install the Windows Server 2003 operating system on the computers that you want to use as the calling and answering routers, you can join the routers to the Active Directory domain.

If you have a calling router that is located in the branch office, and you already have a domain controller in the branch office, join the router computer to the domain there.

If you do not have a domain controller at the branch office yet, you can install the Windows Server 2003 operating system on the computer that you want to use as the calling router while that computer is located in the main office, join the computer to the domain, and then ship it to the branch office.

Note

• Alternatively, you can set up the routers to dial in once, install Active Directory on the computer in the branch office that you want to use as the domain controller, replicate, and then join the routers to the domain.
