I have a domain controller installed in a local premises. I have to make this server available over the internet that the users in other cities/countries can login to their active directory profiles(global), make any changes and log off.

The actual requirement of the department is to have the updated files always as the users will access active directory account through vpn or any other mean.

My questions are;
What are the ways to take my server online other than buying a static IP from ISP with a leased line.
Or what are the different ways that users can login to the active directory accounts. Is it possible with vpn? and how?
Is there any other solution to this scenario?

Thanks.

Without a lot of details as to "what" the end users are needing access to, it sounds like Terminal Server would be a good fit.

ummmm are you saying you want to make your AD server public on the internet?

If you put your server on the internet like this you will get a virus eventually.

No one makes AD public like this.

That is a bad idea on so many levels.

If you need to support remote offices do it with site to site vpns.
If you need to support mobile clients use ssl or another dial in vpn.
