        Doesn't feel like it is needed here. Now that you have the DC at the main site... is it causing a problem?

          no problem at all, but i need a backup logon server in the branch office so that if the VPN go down, ---> users in the branch can login from the DC in the branch

              We don't use one. We use central Domain Controllers and VPN (Pertino) to our offices and don't worry about DCs in the branches. Not a problem at all for us. Branches cache credentials, so no one notices if a DC is unavailable.

                Correct. How often do you have new logins happening in the branches? Is this common? For us, it would be weeks between new people logging in. Do you hire new people in the branches all of the time? Or do they constantly switch machines?

                    i'm thinking of RODC in the branch hopefully this project will be successful !!!

                      Oh, very odd. Yes a DC would be needed then.

                        off course, because we have kind of call center, staff don't care where they sit, they don't have specific software, where ever they find free computer they login into it

                          Sure we do. NTG has 2 datacenter locations, with DCs in each. IT-ADMIN only has 1 datacenter location, so putting a DC at the remote site would be a good idea. If he/she had another datacenter location, it would be less of a concern.

                            thanks for your suggestion, i know that the best idea is to have an additional DC in the remote location, i will try another machine and promote it in the branch office, i will not give up, because i doubt the previous ADC has something wrong in its system, if it doesn't work i will try RODC
