bridgehead server for two sites with two domains.

[lara.hutter]

Maybe someone could help me.
I have two sites and two domains,
I understand the intersite replication between dc of the same domain,
but i'm not sure about the replication using bridgehead server.
the bridgehead server replicate all the AD info of the two domain
between the site or I need two bridgehead server for each domain that
span multiple site?


thank u

Hi,

the KCC automatically choose Bridgeheadserver on each site.
You need multiple bridgeheadserver to replicate full copies
of data from one site to another.
On each site you need one Bridgeheadserver, not two.
But, let to do this job the KCC.

let me see if i really understand

Domain A
Domain B

inside site X i have
DCA1 DCA2 (brigdehead)
DCB1 DCB2
site E
DCA3 DCA4
DCB3 DCB4 (brigdehead)
so the replication of schema and conf is done between all the dc's
into the same site e through bridgehead server between sites
in this case the domain partition replica inside the same site is done
between all the dc's of the same domain and between sites it is using
bridgehead server anyway,is it correct?

Domain B will need a set of Bridgehead servers too (one
active BH in each site.)

site E
DCA3 DCA4
DCB3 DCB4 (brigdehead)

Same for Domain A.

Are you PICKING your own Bridgehead servers? Unless you
have a VERY SPECIFIC reason, stop doing that and let the
KCC use ALL available DCs.

Only those people with a reason (firewall config, performance
issues that are pretty unusual, etc.) should be picking their
own DCs. This is almost always people with large numbers of
DCs in each site.

so the replication of schema and conf is done between all the dc's
into the same site e through bridgehead server between sites
in this case the domain partition replica inside the same site is done
between all the dc's of the same domain and between sites it is using
bridgehead server anyway,is it correct?

You should also have a GC per site. IF these are two SMALL
domains, then you can make EVERY DC a GC. (THis is not suitable
if the domains are large and this will increase your replication
to the GCs inordinately.)
