RE: [ActiveDir] DC to DC communication

[Kevin Brunson]

In Active Directory Sites and Services, ensure that each WAN site you want segregated is configured as an AD site.  Then you can specify which servers communicate to other AD sites, as well as the schedule for replication. Create a new site.  Configure the subnets for that site.  Add domain controllers to that site.  Then configure one server at each site as a bridgehead server.  Unless a WAN link is unreliable, you will probably want to use IP instead of SMTP.  Then only that server will attempt to replicate with the other sites.  If you need to tune it more, change the replication schedule for the different site links.    From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 3:25 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] DC to DC communication   What are the various ways we can control the amount of replication between a specific DC to other DCs?  We have one site that's wan bandwidth is over utilized and we see that the DC at that site is making connections to many other DCs (assumably for replication).  How can we control this or reduce this traffic?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of Cameron and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
