Help Creating site links

[Brian Utter]

Here is my scenario: Thanks Cary for your help with this.
I have plenty of bandwidth so that is not an issue. I
will associate each subnet below with the appropriate
site.

I am needing help creating my site links. I would
appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Brian

The intersite topology generator will automatically create them or you can
set them yourself if you want to have a specific topology. Is there a
specific reason for you wanting to manually create your topology? I would
suggest that you take a look at the Branch Office deployment Guide and base
your decision on the information found there. It has a good chapter on
setting up site links and there are a few scripts that you can use to create
your site links.
The guide and scripts can be downloaded from

Take a look at Chapter 3 Planning Replication for Branch Office Environments

Hi Brian,

You can get several scripts here for script sites, links, subnets, etc:

Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm a bit confused about the nature of your question. I'm going to assume
you are asking for information on the mechanics of creating the site links.
This Step-by-Step on how to do it using Active Directory Sites and Services
may be sufficient.

The scripts from the branch office deployment guide work great but if you
only have 6 sites they may be overkill. If memory serves, the Windows 2000
scripts are focused on a hub and spoke topology which may not be what you
want.
