Thanks, that is what I was trying to communicate. Even with multiple primaries you still have 1 site. Just more primaries.
So 2 primaries trying to manage machines at a sinlge location as if they were in 2 seperate sites is ... YOu would need 2 seperate domains and 2 seperate primaries and eliminate the CAS. I normally do not recomend consultants, but in this case I think you should hire one for a few weeks to find out what you are trying to accomplish, and then help you design a system to accomplish those goals. I do not think there is enough experience at that company to successfully implement configmgr. Do not mean to be harsh, trying to give sound advice and save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
