hi,

 

to fulfill demand of description, may need deploy isa server in environment control user access , security internet. using isa server, internal users can establish connection public server said via setup vpn connection, encrypted l2tp protocol. also, may need deploy domain controller in internal network user authentication.

 

for security consideration, may consider putting public server (it domain controller) in dmz , private server (in internal network), protected isa server. file replication among these 2 servers, may implement dfs-r on windows server 2008 synchronize folders on servers in scheduled time. meanwhile, control user access behavior, may configure share permission , ntfs security permission of replicated folder among 2 servers let domain users can read files , folders.
