I am sorry my question was vague. I wasn't asking the question to be about a specific company. I was just wondering. But ok. Here we go I will ask about a specific corp.

Alright here we go. The networks are as follows.

There is an internet network and a intranet network (these two do not touch in anyway). There are around 20 computer in the internet network and approx. 50 computers on the intranet. These computers are using roaming profiles and are getting their authentication from a Windows 2003 server. After the authentication from the 2003 server they are able to access our DB server. The DB server runs on a 2000 environment.

The client computers are running a mixture of windows 2000 and XP pro. As stated before they have roaming profiles.

Now what would your decisions be?

I have a few ideas on what I would like to do but I would like to here from the AO community.

I would start by recontructing the entire network. I would like to get all users on the internet, however that doesn't seem like an option. So, I would continue using the roaming profiles and authentication the way it currently is. However, all the ports on the computer would be disabled and their printing would be changed from local printers to a few main network printers. All the computers would be running on the same box with one master image to re-load them all.

Since I strapped for time I will re-post later but this is the bulk of it.
