Hi<br />
<br />
We are running Windows 2003 Active directory.<br />
<br />
We have 4 subnets, each subnet is a site in AD and has a DC.<br />
<br />
We are going to add a new subnet to one of the sites....this subnet won't have a DC, it will be used for app servers only. Do we still need to add it to AD sites and services?

Adding new subnet to organisation

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
