Rob's right about this. The DCs in the first site will automatically publish site-specific DNS SRV records for the DC-less site. If you don't want all of the DCs in the first site to provide cover for the second site you can control the behaviour on a per-DC basis through the AutoSiteCoverage registry value.
For a thorough explanation of this (and more), see the excellent article by Gil Kirkpatrick below. http://www.netpro.com/forum/files/authentication_topology.pdf Tony ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- Wrom: XOEAIJJPHSCRTNHGSWZIDREXCAXZOWCONEUQZAAFXISHJEXXIMQZUIVOTQNQEMSF Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 14:33:30 +0100 The DC in your first site would automatically cover that site if you don't specifically move another DC into it.
