Haha, we are a school.

Netflix Friday is what we call the Friday before a scheduled break. Like Xmas 
or spring break.  Kids have already checked out mentally so there is a lot of 
Netflix shown in the classrooms. But I give the teachers credit, they show 
relevant movies and shows.  English Lit will be watching Shakespeare, History 
class will be watching something from Smithsonian and so on.

Our net connection usage goes from about 300MB to 600MB.

Netflix Friday????

I just found another rule I need to implement here at work. Thank you, I love 
Fridays even more now than before.

Let the popcorn popping commence!

Thanks,

Jonathan

Round trip is zero. On Netflix Friday’s it might get up to 1ms.

Auth was broke even within buildings.

I will grab the logs and tests if it goes bad again.

What is the latency on these links?

That seems strange, as others have said, that AuthN broke because of this. I’ll 
be curious to see some of the nltest output and/or error logs.

Thanks,

Never paid much attention to sites, but now I am going to.  I have 12 buildings 
with dedicated gig fiber back to one of them were the data center is housed.  
Not a lot of traffic, 10 to 15 percent tops. So never worked with sites to 
control replication or logon traffic.  But now I have a piece of software that 
is doing a fair number of GC lookups and it would seem that my desktops have 
decided over the years to all talk to one DC. There are DC’s in each of the 
five buildings, the 7 smaller ones do not have one.

There are currently two all-encompassing subnets, in one site with all the DC’s 
in that site.

So yesterday I decided to make sites. Put in all the subnets for all the 
buildings, and created 5 sites each with at least one DC, and put the 
appropriate subnet’s in those sites.

It went ugly really fast. Authentication broke enterprise wide, Exchange 
couldn’t auth and stopped working.  For the most part if it involved auth it 
broke.

Nuke the sites and subnets and moved it all back to two /16’s in one site and 
in about 30 minutes all was well.

What did I do wrong?
