We are doing an AD site design and I wanted to know some thoughts of the
group here.
Assumptions
1) Single forest, Single Domain
2) Highspeed Network links to sites, 10mb, 100mb and 1GB
Available for AD/exchange
3) Centralized service provider/organization
4) Exchange 2003 SP1
5) 16000 users in 16 sites with above network speeds
Design Questions
1) Do you centralize into 1 centralized site and back haul all
network logon and exchange traffic to 1 site?
2) What are the base numbers of DC's / GC's you would need
support this config (what are the metrics of dc gc
logons/server/processor)
3) what is the typical traffic usage used during an xp network
logon session? (DHCP, DNS, Kerberos TGT, and outlook 2002 mapi logon)
Thoughts on pulling this off?
