Question 184 - AZ-800 discussion

To create an AD DS site named Site2 that is associated to an IP address range of 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.255, you can follow these steps:

On a domain controller or a computer that has the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) installed, openActive Directory Sites and Servicesfrom theAdministrative Toolsmenu or by typingdssite.mscin the Run box.

In the left pane, right-click onSitesand selectNew Site.

In theNew Object - Sitedialog box, enterSite2as theNameof the new site. Select a site link to associate the new site with, such asDEFAULTIPSITELINK, and clickOK. You can also create a new site link if you want to customize the replication frequency and schedule between the sites. For more information on how to create a site link, seeCreate a Site Link.

In the left pane, right-click onSubnetsand selectNew Subnet.

In theNew Object - Subnetdialog box, enter192.168.2.0/24as thePrefixof the subnet. This notation represents the IP address range of 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. SelectSite2as theSite objectto associate the subnet with, and clickOK.

Wait for the changes to replicate to other domain controllers. You can verify the site and subnet creation by checking theSitesandSubnetscontainers in Active Directory Sites and Services.

Now, you have created an AD DS site named Site2 that is associated to an IP address range of 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.255. You can add domain controllers to the new site and configure the site links and site link bridges to optimize the replication topology.
