Domain controllers on disconnected networks

O

OCDDs

I am hoping for some direction here on an odd case scenario. I have a domain at site A that is fully functional and has been running for about 8 years now. The network is only local and has one external connection for a VMware horizon view server and WSUS patching purposes.


I need to put about 80 people in site B using their machines that are connected to site A's domain controller. I would like to put some kind of RODC or branch cache server at site B but there is no way that i can have a connection to site A's DC for replication. I do have a fieshare that i can access between site A's network and site B, so my question is would there be a way to have replication happen as an XML output file (or some other windows format) and manually update the two DC's to replicate? This is a short term solution while we are building VPN tunnels to go between the two but i am about 8 months away from having a VPN connection and need something in the interim.
