Newbie Home Server Setup

-

hello!

i looking deploy server 2012 r2 on home network , have couple questions...

my (proposed) setup:

"homeserver" : primary dc - ad & dns (dhcp handled router, static ips both servers)

"mediaserver" : secondary dc - ad & ?

various win8 clients.

my questions surround mediaserver. server intend have connected vpn service 24/7 , wondering how affect ability act dc. also, have desktop applications running on , wondering best way set is? regular domain user logged in server? need able schedule programs , scripts (with admin priv. scripts perform firewall toggles). used accessing internet resources/services. acts nas, sharing ~8tb of data through smb shares.

thanks in advance!


hi rnguy,

we not recommend either multihome or install other unnecessary service on domain controller. we’d better have dedicate device establish vpn tunnel between main , branch site on internet . can use multihomed rras server or router device support vpn connection below topology.

main site--------internet--------router(rras)-------dc

the similar thread:

can dc multihomed in windows 2008 server?

does microsoft support running rras on windows 2008 r2 server domain controller?

there difficult deploy design best method, in general use rodc on perimeter network, take more security factor take more cost, in family environment personal advice can setup separate rras server vpn server, can refer following build vpn server.

configure tcp/ip on rras server

additional, dc can access internet not best idea, face more security thread, can refer following kb place dc correctly in private network.

planning domain controller placement

(i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
