And here's an article that covers the basics.

I think Rick Kingslan has done a lot of work in this area, so you might want to ping him too.

Hi,

Guido and Gil wrote a great ebook about recovery whereas information about lagsites is included

Take a look at: http://www.netpro.com/events/adrecovery/index.cfm (registration needed)

 

For starters some tips:

* Place at least on DC for each domain in the lag site

* Allow the DCs in the lag site to register only the replication record (CNAME) in the DNS zone _MSDCS.FORESTROOT

* Don't assign WINS server IP addresses for the DCs in the lag sites

* Make sure the site link between the lag site and the hub site has a higher cost than all other site links that connect the hub site and other sites (reason: Exchange AD topology discovery for the out-of-site list of DCs/GCs)

*You might want to use lag sites (e.g. 2) that replicate in steps (1st site replicates like each 3 days and the other each week) whereas the second lag site is connected to the first and the first is connected to the second and the hub site

 

This might be expensive though and you also might have a look at objectrecovery tools available by third party vendors

 

Cheers,

Jorge

Anyone have any pointers (documentation or real life experience) on setting up an AD Lag Site?

 

Thanks in advance,
