Domain site configuration
As of now i am setting up our first DC in what would be called another site. Right now I have DC1 at one location and DC2 in another location. These two locations are seperated by many many miles. What i want to do is create two sites. Each DC will be in its own site where computers and each location will use the correct DC so i can reduce the load on our WAN. Both sites are in the same domain, same forest, same subnet. The only thing that is different about them is that one site uses the 10.1.x.x IP and the other site usies 10.5.x.x. What is the best way to create 2 sites to help keep things organized?

How do i setup NTDS settings. Do i assume that when i setup the site and put the Ip address in i can put the address as 10.1.0.0 and mask of 255.255.0.0 for site one and for site 2 put the addrses of 10.5.0.0 with a mask of 255.255.0.0? Also, the 2nd site will be a DC, GC and DNS but wont have a DHCP. is that a problem on the DHCP part? Also, in site one i have 3 other locations that i dont want to be part of another site and be part of site 1 which are 10.2.x.x, 10.3.x.x and 10.4.x.x.
Thanks

I configured two sites, one site that has everybody else but the 10.5.x.x. the other side is created with the correct DC's in the correct site. the IP link is between both sites. However, i am still seeing computer from the other site still logging on to the DC's from the wrong site. What can i do to fix this.
Are you planning to have two separate VPNs from your main office to these DCs?
Any plans of using any firewalls?
