My advice would have been to start with a 255.255.255.0 netmask (/24) - it's better for creating more subnets and hosts. 255.255.0.0 (/16) is more limiting if that is what the person is using, no matter what IP class is being used. But if not selected initially it's too late to easily go back...

hello, just to stop the troll... Do you understand my others post about your network ? Is you DC set up on its network interface with a 255.255.0.0 netmask ? Your setup will work fine from an AD point of view (dssite.msc) , but not an IP routing point of view if you are really using a 255.255.0.0 Regards, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Cline To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 10:19 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] Overlapping AD Subnet Boundaries Say I create an AD subnet of 10.10.0.0/16 and assign it to our primary site, and another subnet as 10.10.41.0/24 and assign it to a secondary site. Will AD treat a client address of, say, 10.10.41.104 as a client on the secondary site, or will it default to the more general primary subnet? The reason I ask is we now have a need for a second AD site (I can see all the enterprise folks grinning now) and we have quite a number of other subnets that I’d have to manually enter if this is not the case. I don’t mind doing it, but I was curious either way.
