You can confirm that they are in the same site if you only see 
Default-First-Site record in the _sites folder:

Forward Lookup Zones
_msdcs.orgdepts.org.ac.uk
      |_ dc
            |_  _sites
                       |_ Default-First-Site

If you actually have a DC per ADS site, you can set the ads_site 
property via sharectl to point to site (for instance, siteA) and specify 
the kpasswd_server=<DC of siteA> in /etc/krb5/krb5.conf.
However, if you have all 3 DCs in the Default-First-Site, the domain 
join would fail intermittently as described in CR 6607919.  The 
workaround is to restart smb/server and search for the last log message 
that looks like the following:

msdcsLookupADS: orgdepts-dc2 <--- could by any DC in that domain


If you specify the DC discovered by SMB server as the kpasswd_server in 
your krb5.conf, the domain join should succeed.  In the above case, you 
would need to have kpasswd_server=orgdepts-dc2.orgdepts.org.ac.uk in 
your krb5.conf.
