You need to create a subnet, but not a discrete site. We tend to run a hub and spoke WAN layout - a small number of larger offices, each with a full infrastructure, all interconnected. The smaller offices are spoked off one of the larger offices. In the case of small offices without domain controllers, we still create the subnet, but add that subnet to the Site associated with the hub office to which the smaller office is connected?
For instance, our office in Atlanta has a 20-some person office in Detroit. Atlanta (which has a pair of DCs) and all local subnets are part of the Atlanta site. The Detroit office, which doesn't have a DC, has a Subnet object created, but that subnet is part of the Atlanta AD Site. The net result is that if you add the subnets to the next hop neighbor on the WAN, you can control which DCs are used to authenticate. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
