You should talk to the vendor (microsoft) and ask them how to tweak their 
product to properly work over the WAN.

Don't let them get away with substandard product when it comes to WAN 
optimization. If you can get microsoft to clean up their act, you'd have 
done ISPs a great service, because then we can stop trying to convince 
customers that it's not ISP fault that they get bad speeds with their 
windows PCs.
