Branch Office Communication

Hi,
Supposingly we have many branch offices with good internet speed but no dedicated bandwidth between individual locations.
We need to enable VoIP calling using Internet, can we use any skype product to tie all standalone EPABX system for branch office communications. 
Can we have SIP trunks on skype gateway from each location and enable interoffice calling.
Please suggest

Hello Rahul,
I see you are asking about connecting your offices together for calling and comminucations.
Well,  Connecting the offices together will require a Communication Server of some sort.  Manufacturers like Nortel, Avaya, Cisco, and many others have these type of devices available to accomplish the "link" between your offices, as long as the equipment is all compliant with the Communication Server.   I suggest you contact a local agent for these manufacturers and have them take a look at what you have. They will provide you with a quote to get you connected.
As for Skype, making and receiving calls is a snap for us.  We provide these services 24/7. We can get you connected in miinutes and have you making cheap calls all day long.  The cost just depends on where in the world you are calling.  Our "minutes" bundles are very cost effective to use.  And, all of your incoming calls are free. All you would need, would be a Skype Online Number, a Managed User for the Skype Clients that want to call you, and SIP Channels to connect to your PBX to talk on.
That's pretty much it.  I hope this helps you in your research to get your offices connected and to start using Skype.  I have provided  a few links for you to look at below.

  • Windows 8.1 laptop not connecting to domain in branch office

    We have a problem with a laptop. 
    It is installed in our Head office (The Netherlands), just like all other laptops by using an image.
    Tested and working on the domain.
    The user had to go to one of our branch offices (China) and when he connected there, the laptop just won't connect to the domain.
    When he plugged in the laptop, it keeps trying to connect it's directaccess.
    Other laptops (same image) immediately recognize the domain network, but this laptop just won't.
    I am able to ping everything on the local network (MPLS connection), from HQ to all Branch offices but not access them.
    I've tried changing the DNS settings, but without any result.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    According to this tool's description, I think it should be helpful to check system current enviroment, such as network, certificates, etc. problem. Actually according to your description, I doubt it probably network enviroment of ISP problem, but we should
    find a way to verify our suspect. Then this tool would be convenient, it also would generate a trace log and it would be helpful with troubleshooting.
    The DirectAccess Client Troubleshooting Tool is a graphical application, based on the .NET Framework, which checks the health of a DirectAccess client by running various tests.  Built-in health tests: The following tests are currently implemented:
    Network interfaces Network location (NLS and NRPT DNS) IP connectivity (6to4, Teredo, IPHTTPS, entry point in a multisite setup, DNS) Windows Firewall (applied profile, Firewall outbound rules) Certificates (EKU Client Authentication, trust chain for AIA and

  • Branch Office Install

    Hello,
    My client is planning on deploying branch office and is hitting
    the limit of 16 concurrent users. They need about 20-25
    concurrent users.
    Can branch office me installed more than once on the
    same server? Is this a supported configuration?
    thanks in advance,
    mike

    Hi
    You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
    that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
    You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:

  • Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

    Hi All,
    Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
    How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
    the 2 DC's located in HO?

    Hi,
    If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
    If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
    Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.

    1 - If you wish to give internet as Proxy to users.
    Ensure the Below subnet is able to reach TMG Internal Interface that is 192.168.11.1
    Subnet
    Branch Office 1: 192.168.12.x/24
    Branch Office 2 : 192.168.14.x/24
    Branch Office 2 : 192.168.16.x/24
    Configuration
    Enable Proxy in TMG and configure Proper Ports as per your requirements
    On the Client IE – Ensure you put Proxy IP as TMG and Port configured in TMG configuration.
    Enable a Rule
    Access Rule
    Source : Internal
    Destination : External
    Ports : HTTP / HTTPS
    Users : Authenticated Users
    2 As normal Internet as Gateway to users
    You need to request your MPLS provider to change the Default Route of below subnet to 192.168.11.1. By doing this, all the internet request from the below subnet to internet will hit TMG.
    Subnet
    Branch Office 1: 192.168.12.x/24 Default Route 192.168.11.1
    Branch Office 2 : 192.168.14.x/24 Default Route 192.168.11.1
    Branch Office 2 : 192.168.16.x/24 Default Route 192.168.11.1
    IF you have any L3 Switch then you can also make Default gateway as L3 for all the subnet and from L3 device point it to TMG

  • Migrating branch office 2008 R2 file servers to 2012 R2 with DFSR complications

    We have 1 head office File Server and 4 branch office Servers that replicate back to head office using DFSR.  We would like to move to 2012 R2 to take advantage of the deduplication features etc.  What's the best way to do this?  Do we do
    a re-install as per this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/09/10/replacing-dfsr-member-hardware-or-os-part-5-reinstall-and-upgrade.aspx
    Leaving data disks untouched and simply attaching them again and then do the same for each branch office?  We cannot afford to replicate the entire data set across the WAN links again.
    Anyone had any experience doing this?  Any advice appreciated.

    Hi,
    Do you want to migrate the branch office 2008 R2 file servers to new 2012 R2 servers or in-place update the severs? 
    If you in-place update the servers, you need to do a re-install as per the article mentioned. The entire data will be replicated again.
    If you migrate the files servers to new servers, here is our suggestion to migrate DFS-R branch server.
    1. Add a new branch server.
    2. When initial synch is finished (event 4104 for every replicated folder).
    3. And then wait for AD replication.
    4. Then remove the old branch server as usually.
    To prevent large network synchronization flow, pre-seed the data with backup program to copy the amount of information from older branch server to the new branch server, this should be lower the replication network flow during initial replication.

  • Install windows server 2012 DC on Branch office

    Hi ALL,
    i am planning to install a secondary DC on our branch office where currently they are on different domain and forest. our head office is currently on windows server 2008 R2 std, where forest and domain functional level are on windows server 2003. our headoffice
    domain name is:- (corpoffice.org) and branch office domain is:- ssl (its a single level domain on windows server 2003).
    am thinking to upgrade our headoffice DC to windows server 2012 r2 and the same i wanted to do for branch office as well.
    i need some guidance how to proceed with this DC setup as both vlan network is different and all the client settings are different. am getting few query like
    1. should i upgrade my headoffice DC first before i setup the branch office DC.
    2. how the branch office client will communicate to new DC.
    any suggestion and guidance would really helpful.

  • Simulating small branch office in lab network

    Hi,
    I have to setup what seems to be a very basic configuration, but it doesn't work.
    In our lab there is a cluster of switches with a 3550 that does all the routing for vlans.
    I need to simulate a sort of a small branch office that has one connection
    to the outside world (the lab network).
    Here is my design:
    Vlan 230 (the internet)
    A port on 3550 is in vlan 230 and is connected to e0/0 (172.26.230.150) on 2611 router.
    e0/1 interface on a 2611 is (192.168.1.1).
    A PC is connected to e0/1 (192.168.1.12).
    From the router I can ping any host on vlan 230 and other vlans,
    I can also ping the pc connected to e0/1.
    However from the PC I can only ping 192.168.1.1(e0/1) and 172.26.230.150 (e0/0)
    Below is my configuration
    Thanks for your help.
    R2611-1#sh run
    Building configuration...
    Current configuration:
    version 12.0
    service timestamps debug uptime
    service timestamps log uptime
    no service password-encryption
    hostname R2611-1
    ip subnet-zero
    ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.9
    ip dhcp pool 192.168.1
       network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
       default-router 192.168.1.1
    interface Ethernet0/0
    ip address 172.26.230.150 255.255.255.0
    no ip directed-broadcast
    no ip mroute-cache
    no mop enabled
    interface Ethernet0/1
    ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
    no ip directed-broadcast
    no ip mroute-cache
    ip classless
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.26.230.1
    ip http server
    no scheduler allocate
    end

    You are not performing nat on the router.
    This is typically required on a box which provides internet connectivity.
    Probably the other hosts on vlan 230 have no route back to the pc on 192.168.1.1
    Configuring nat on the router will resolve this problem.
    regards,
    Leo

  • Small branch office network

    We have a small branch office (7 users) that will be moving to a building that has a Wireless Residential Gateway (Model: DPC3829).  This device provides wifi for 2 other tenants on the same floor.  Can we connect another wireless router to this wireless residential gateway device and create our own SSID so that we don't have to use the wifi settings that the other 2 tenants connect to?  
    I've attached a picture of what the back of the DPC3829 currently looks like.  I am thinking I can plug that yellow network cable into another wireless router and create our own wireless network (obviously off of their internet connection) for our 7 users. 
    Thank you for your help.

    u may but any plane wireless device and run it in bridge mode (shouldd run by default i beleive). Then connect one of its lan port to any one of the lan ports available on the DPC3829 thing.
    you are correct in what you want to do, and it can be done no problem.

    Hi
     i think you mean about best practice topology.
    First of all,you will add Additional Domain Controllers on your branch offices.Also This ADC will have DNS,DHCP role based.And will deploy a File server.
    Important point is structure you want to build.
    This is a detailed article about domain topologies, So please check this article about your questions;

  • Branch office installation of Oracle 8i Lite

    I have developed a Java application using Oracle 8i Lite. I know, how to extract a required datbase file and supporitng run time files using deploy utility for stand alone machine. Thus, i can zip and send those file by email or thru web server to the client for installation on stand alone machine.
    Since we can not use the Web to GO server, we want to send the Branch office database and its run time files (Only required files for running and not for developing) for server as well as for client to work in the LAN in the same manner as how deployed on stand alone machine without sending the Oracle lite CD and without using the Web to GO server.
    In short, we want to install the Branch office Database machine files and Branch office client files by sending only required files in email without using web to go server and without sending Oracle lite CD.
    Advance thanks for your valuable reply.

  • Branch office logic from SD

    The business scenario I'm trying to address is:
    we have multiple customers/shiptos that order, have credits issued for, and an individual credit limit set - but one corporate office that pays all of the bills and wants to take credits from shipto A for a balance on shipto B. 
    I know about and have set up the head office/branch office relationship and about setting the Payer partner to = the head office.  The problem with this set up is that it rolls into one credit limit (head office customer) rather than each branch having it's own.  If I change the payer to = the branch office, then it does not show up within open items or cash app in FI under the head office.
    Has anyone figured out how to keep seperate credit accounts for the branch offices but apply cash from a corporate level?

    The variable WDSSERVER is a variable that is figured out by MDT when booting a machine using the boot image created by Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Therefore it is not available in Windows.
    If you want different WSUS servers depending on location of the client you can use for instance this technique in CustomSettings.ini. This will point clients on a specific subnet to a specific WSUS server.
