A summary is at the bottom if you don't want to read it all 
.
I'll try to make this short. I have a SBS2003 and four remote sites. At my office I have a PIX 550 for VPN and at the remote sites I have PIX 501. The NAT settings and access permissions in all the PIX have been checked to accurate. Everything functions but there are still some nagging issues with this setup.
When a workstation was put out at a remote site(all before my time) it was loaded and configured on the internal network and then deployed. Once at a remote site they just set an IP range in the PIX and set the IPs on the workstations and logged in. The connection wasn't great but they connect to an account/invoice server in my office and it has sufficed to date.
A few quirks and some of the things I'd like to work out are: on a few computers I can step the user through adding a new local account to the computer, and on others I get a trust relationship error. Another thing is, I can ping a computer at a remote site, but none of the passwords work to access that computer when I'm trying to add a printer connected to it.
Basically it seems that with this setup once the computers were put in the remote locations a lot of the windows functionality went out the door for some reason. I'm wondering if there is a way to reconnect or assign all the remote workstations so that they act exactly as an internal network computer does. Anyone have a similiar setup, experience or any ideas I'd greatly appreciate the input.
Many thanks.
