Question 1: Yes, you can define one big one to replace the smaller ones, but be aware that the bigger one is quite a bit bigger. In general, the most specific subnet definition wins.
Question 2: Yes, you can even do individual IP addresses, but I'd avoid it if possible because it quickly becomes an administrative nightmare. I'd only do it for testing.

Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 10:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] AD sites and subnet questions I am planning a move of our exchange servers and two domain controllers out of our current single site to a new separate site. We had MS come in and do a healthcheck on Exchange, and its one of their recommendations. We don't have all the subnets in our network added into the current site yet. Before I break out the netsh and AD cookbook scripts and go to the lab I wanted to first see if there are simpler ways of doing this. Question 1. If I have say, 25 class C networks like 192.168.1.0/24 thru 192.168.25.0/24 in site 1. Can I put 192.168.0.0/16 under site 1 and it work the same as explicitly defining the 25 separate subnets? Question 2. The computers going to site 2 are part of a subnet in site 1 currently. Can I get away with adding individual computers to site 2 that are subset of a subnet defined in site 1? Site 1 - 192.168.1.0/24 Site 2 - 192.168.1.10/32 192.168.1.11/32 192.168.1.12/32 192.168.1.13/32 Or do I need to move them into their own subnet for the separate site? Thank you for any insight and/or recommendations you have.
