setting up new remote office away from Headquarters

we setting new remote office for  few employees work warehouse duty.    have dynamic t-1 connection @ remote office direct access internet.  employees access key application on web our headquarters.   but, wondering how others setup things like:  desktop applications, virus application, printers , scanners when have sort of arrangement.  new us.

my thought way:

1.  desktop applications should installed directly onto computers , files saved headquarters file servers question how:   suspect should vpn access

2.  virus/malware/spyware protection.  this, too, should on desktop

3.  printers/scanners.  should locally setup on print server

however, wondering if cost-effective purchase server , have setup @ remote location.   users don't other work on web applications , database entry applications.  don't of own file creations.   but, if there real advantage having server @ remote site , example, saving files directly on server replicating files headquarter  or login or setting print service on server on not having server should deploy server.   guess question is:   cost purchase server worthwile on other means of accomplishing such tasks login domain, printing, file saving, etc.   other small offices have domain based environment , headquarters located elsewhere.  have 8 users @ location.

 

hiya,

one crucial thing in setting sites dc.

first of allows replace dc, have off site "backup" of ad.

secondly allows site logon , work on desktop in case of inability connect headquarters.

 

usually should consider, how should able operate without connection headquarter. thats thought need, rest come self :)
