That's perfect!

TB, this is for a DB server and then for when we replace the FS. However, people can't get to the DB over the VPN. Seems to be an AD issue, currently not running on that server.
are they authenticating to AD, and is the DB server a member server in that Forest?
I don't think that the AD server knows that it exists, but yes logging on with network ID's.

Ah, if they are logging on to AD, but the server isn't a member of that Forest, then it ain't gonna work.

Plan in making it a member server (ie, adding it to domain like a workstation), then set up the security.

Be aware, that any GPOs applied (directly or indirectly) to the OU you stick it in will get applied to the server.
