Defining Subnets in AD Sites and Services

[Paul McShane MCP]

hi all

I would like to know if we can define a supernet in sites
and services to cover 84 subnets?

We have 84 subnets all starting 10.1.x.x with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. Can I define all the subnets with
an address of 10.1.0.0 in S&S, or do I need to
individually create each subnet?

TIA guys

The subnet you define in AD does not have to match the configuration on the PCs.

You can use an 8 bit mask if you wanted to and were using a class A network even
though all PCs were using class C masks (24 bit).
