That is exactly the kind of knowledge of how AD works on this that I needed as a clarification.   I believe it is being done that way as you say, “Catch all” for those areas not specifically defined.  I just don’t have the knowledge in AD sites of how that bugger works.

But that doesn’t answer the question of how AD handles that layout.  They appear to overlap and I know that can not be true unless the network guys are doing it wrong.   Rick J.

In Active directory Sites and Services there is a set of IP ranges that I am trying to figure out. Here are the entries; 155.168.0.0/16          Bothell 155.168.128.0/17        Allen 155.168.64.0/18         Allen What I am trying to do is figure out what IP ranges these cover so that I can put the IP range into SMS 2003 boundaries for systems that are not in active directory to be able to assign to our sites.  In SMS 2003 we are using the Active Directory Boundaries of Bothell and Allen; I just want to duplicate this in the server without causing overlapping which will mess up the SMS clients. I think I have it figured out…. But am not sure, please correct me if I have it messed up, my eyeballs were very crossed yesterday as I was trying to figure this out. AD Site         Effective IP range covered 155.168.0.0/16          155.168.0.1 to 155.168.63.254 155.168.64.0/18         155.168.64.1  to  155.168.127.254 155.168.128.0/17        155.168.128.1 to 155.168.255.254 Rick J.
