In the end, I doubt it really matters a whole heck of a lot in most cases. There might be a blip while the clients fall back to using one in their local site, but that won't happen until they next query for the site.
Was it me, I'd go ahead and configure the subnets and then move the gc into that site.
If the version of Exchange you're running is new enough, then it will check for GC's in it's own site after 15 minutes of losing it's own. Clients may notice depending on the client type. Keep in mind that Exchange will use the other servers regardless of site. They'll prefer GC's in their own site, but that's not an absolute to the exclusion of the rest of the topology. In fact, there are a lot of strong arguments for getting Exchange to use particular GC's since that's what gets handed out to the clients for directory use.

Hey Al,
Yep. Sorry, I got a bit sloppy when writing that part. I don't plan to delete the site for a few days after I make the change.
Do you think I should I move the DC to siteB then associate the subnet with siteB or should I change the subnet/site then move the DC?
Thanks again.

Wouldn't it make more sense to change the site definitionsanddc/gcmemberships prior to removing the site?

Hey,
There was a site created in AD that I would like to remove. Are there any gotchas when removing a site and adding the subnet back into an existing site? The site was created for our datacenter. The datacenter houses our Exchange servers and I would like Exchange to use the DC/GC's in our office as well. DSACCESS will just pick up the DC/GC's in the office the next time it runs the discovery process right?
The Datacenter is connected to the office by a DS3. Windows 2000 single domain, Exchange 2003.
Thanks.
Mike
