Data Center site design question

[Ziek]

If all the DC's are contained within a central data center, then I would
just create a site and define all the subnets of the data center in this
site so that DC replication is all within the data center site.

But what about my client computers? They are all over the place, and
although they all have fast connections to the data center, how do I treat
their IP addresses and subnets?

Should I be defining all the client subnets at lumping them into the Data
Center Site, or should I treat the client subnets as separate sites, I'm
kind of confused!

 

[Paul Williams [MVP]]

There's a couple of choices.

Define sites for client sites, and move DCs into these sites.
Define sites for client sites, and let site auto-coverage worry about which
DCs service which site.
Do nothing.

Seeing as you don't want to slow down replication, and your infrastructure
can cope with the WAN-based logon traffic, I would go for option two.
