From the end of February to the beginning of March 2007, STEREO-B was traveling away from the Earth at distances between 200 and 360 Re close to the magnetospheric tail allowing to study the dynamics of the far tail and its boundaries in response to IMF changes and to magnetospheric activity. We present results obtained from very disturbed period (AE higher than 500 nT) to nearly quiet conditions and show that the far tail is: -i) strongly affected by traveling plasmoids during strong activity periods, -ii) presents a quick response to weak magnetospheric disturbances (AE lower than 100 nT) and is directly connected along field lines to acceleration regions located close to the Earth.
