[ActiveDir] Setting up Sites

[David Adner]

We're going from 2 sites to 3 sites.  So far, we've used the 
DEFAULTSITELINK for simplicity's sake and have the KCC creating replication 
links.  The only thing we changed was the replication interval to every 15 
minutes.  With the creation of a 3rd site, plus to allow for future 
expansion, we're going to begin creating site links and such.

Site 1 and 2 are connected via a very high speed network.
Site 3 is connected to Sites 1 and 2 via a T3.
Connectivity to Site 3 is fast, but we still want to avoid unnecessary WAN 
authentication and optimize replication as much as possible.

I'm interested in people's opinions on setting up the metric's for the site 
links or any other suggestions you have for a relatively new AD 
implementation.  I'm pretty familiar with how things work and have read 
through various whitepapers, but I'd like to hear people's real world 
experiences.  TTIA.
