Hello,
I am looking for some site costing recommendations to help with a complex domain infrastructure, any information would be greatly appreciated.
I will try and keep the issue brief to help understand exactly what I am trying to achieve. Basically we have some 6 AD Sites specified by subnet, see below:
UK Site A - No Domain Controller
UK Site B - No Domain Controller
UK Site C - Domain Controller
US Site D - Domain Controller
US Site E - Domain Controller
AUS Site F - Domain Controller
The issue we are experiencing is that when users logon within Site A or Site B they use a random DC as their logon server instead of the DC within the UK Site C. We could change the sites subnet to the location of the DC but this is not a true representation
of our sites and would cause issues in a HA scenario.
I have been reviewing the site link costs and designed the following:
UK Site Link (Site A,B,C) - Cost 50
UK to US Link (Site C,D,E) Cost 100
UK to AUS Link (Site C,F) Cost 100
I am not familiar with the best scenario for the above site costs and again would appreciate any input.
Cheers.
