Hi,

I have 3 sites, they can all communicate over an ATM backbone. The sites
were really established for client affinity reasons.

In terms of the site link, i just renamed the "Default Site Link" and put
the 3 sites in and set the replication for every 15 mins. Should i have
created any other site links? Or is there any need to?

Thanks
 
If there are domain controllers at each of the three sites this would nor be
such a good idea. No matter how fast and reliable a WAN link is you should
try to keep logon traffic local if possible.

assume both of those are pretty good. If so, you might even consider
putting all three locations in the same AD site.
 
To add a bit to this, one advantage of more site links would be if you
wanted to configure the sites (call them A, B and C) such that A replicates
with B but not C, B replicates with C and not A, etc. IE more fine-grained
control of the replication topology.
In an environment like yours though, using a single site link and putting
all sites in it is probably easiest and best. Let all sites replicate with
all others, no harm done.
 
Thanks for your replies!
