Sites & servicesHi,
i have 2 DC in Lan and 1 DC, over the wan link, at remote site, between a firewall. If i have a fat Wan Link. Can i ignore about creating a new 'site' for this remote DC? What i have done now is by creating the LAN & remote subnets and attached to the 'default sites'. Can this method work? steve Yes, this method will work. It is recommended that you always define your
subnets and sites. If your WAN pipe is considered fast, then the two physical locations can reside in one logical site. The important thing is that you still define the subnets (which you have). If you don't do this, your event log and NETLOGON log will be full of messages regarding clients using a DC because they don't have a site. -- Paul Williams Microsoft MVP - Windows Server - Directory Services http://www.msresource.net | http://forums.msresource.net Hi Paul,
thanks for your valuable advice. If says, i wanted to create another new site for my remote site(for 1 DC). My objective is replication will only take place in the night for this remote site. How can i achieve this? Do i change the schedule in the 'defaultSiteLink' or change the schedule in the "NTDS Settings" > "automatically generated" for servers? i only have 2 sites (remote and Lan). i don't need to create a new site link, right? steve Show quoteHide quote "Paul Williams [MVP]" wrote: > Yes, this method will work.

yes i only have 2 sites, so If i change the schedule only at night on the DefaultIPSiteLink will it affect the the LAN AD replication between the 2 lan DCs? For remote site, the transport was show as 'IP' instead of RPC, is this correct? steve Show quoteHide quote "Paul Williams [MVP]" wrote: > In this scenario you should create a new site object and then link the > necessary subnets to this site.

When all 3 DCs in a same site, each of them have 2 replicate partners. But after i moved DC3 to the remote site, this remote DC only have 1 replicate partner(DC2). DC2 have 2 partners and DC1 only have 1 partner(DC2). is this normal? should every DC have 2 partners? steve Show quoteHide quote "Paul Williams [MVP]" wrote: > The schedule will only effect Inter-site replication.

The connection objects are between the bridgehead servers at

'site Link', i did not specify any server to be brigehead server in the "IP" settings. SO does it depends the KCC doing the auto calculation for each servers' partners? steve Show quoteHide quote "Paul Williams [MVP]" wrote: > This is fine.

They may require that you create additional sites, even though the link speeds are LAN equivalent. If you implement DFS for example, and have replicas in remote and LAN, you may prefer that clients are always referred to the local replica and not go over the WAN. This means separate sites are needed.
