Authenticating to DC at remote site thru BOVPN

Our our main office, we have 2 DCs. There is a 3rd DC at a remote site that
is connected to our main office thru a BOVPN (Branch Office VPN)...always
connected. The 3rd DC replicates with the 2 DCs at the main site, however I
feel that when users at the main office happen to hit the remote 3rd DC,
there is a severe delay logging on.

Is there any way to speed up or prevent logging onto the 3rd remote DC?
Any settings I should confirm are set properly?

Hello Marc,

Did you configure AD sits and services to reflect your topology with the
sites and add the subnet to the site and then move the DC's to there belonging
site/subnet?

After searching thru google, I see comments regarding this too. I don't know.
Consultants setup the remote DC, so I don't know what' on it.

Can you briefly explain how to do this, or point me in the direction for
documentation.

Thanks. Sounds like you've done this before, can you answer these questions
to help me.
1. At neither my main office or my remote office are there Subnets created
under AD Sites and Services. In both cases, they are blank. Is it possible,
they are blank, and the network runs ok?

2. Both sites have their own different ip address, and currently only talk
thru the BOVPN. Do I only add "one" subnet on each respective DC...it's own
address?

3. Can I add the subnets this during the day, will it effect any network
activity?

4. Do I need to restart any services after add each subnet?

5. If I use private ip internally, is the subnet 192.168.10.0 and subnet
mask 255.255.255.0

Hello Marc,

1. Yes, you only realize it in the longer logon as you see when authenticating
against the remote DC or when site aware applications/services are used.

2. You have to add each used subnet from your network

3. Yes, no downtime is needed for creating the subnets/sites or moving the
DC's to there belonging site

4. No, not needed

5. Yes, that's right, that's one and do not forget the remote subnet

1. If I add both subnets to each DC (main & remote), won't I still see the
user try to logon to the remote DC?

2. To add, do I simply right click on Subnets, and add new subnet? Just
enter nework address, mask, and select site (only 1 site)?

3. What do you mean moving the DC? If I only have 1 site (still called
Default-First-Site-Name), do I need to move any DCs?

4. After reading all this, I'm trying to understand the purpose. If
everything talks now, and I'm adding both subnets from main and remote, what
benefit is this providing to speed up the logons?

Hello Marc,

1. You have to create also a site for the remote office. You have "Default
First Site Name" with in the moment main and remote DC's under it. Create
a second site for the remote offce, add the remote subnet and move the DC
which belongs to the remote site to it

2. Yes

3. rightclick one level above and choose crete new site, name remote or whatever,
add the correct subnet to it and now move the DC, rightclick the DC or drag
and drop it to the new site

4. When the new site is created you have 2 sites "Default First Site Name"
and "Remote", each with it's belonging subnets and DC's.
Best regards

If you open the AD Sites & Services MMC and just look under the Help Topics
it explains the whole thing.

So, let me make sure I'm clear, after re-reading. With two separate offices,
it's best to have 2 separate sites created in AD Sites & Services. I have 2
DCs in Site 1, and 1 DC in Site 2.

Currently all is listed under one site, with no subnet listed and all 3 DCs
listed, which works, but is NOT best practice to make logons most efficient.

1) Do I need to manually create the 2nd Site, specific subnet, move DC on
ALL three DCs separately.. under each DCs AD Sites & Services? (I wasn't
sure if I created on one DC, they would auto populate on the others.)

2) Once this is one, will all 3 DCs continue to replicate, even though 2 DCs
are listed in Site 1 and 1DC is listed under Site 2...they are listed in 2
separate sites?
