Operation Masters design

Hi All,

Just a quick question on how best to deploy operation masters around a
network.

Single domain/forest.

3 DCs in SiteUK (1 to be de-commed)
1 DC in SiteUSA
IPSEC tunnel between the two sites

At the moment, one server in the SiteUK site has all the OMs.
I was thinking of making the single server in SiteUSA a GC too, but
should I distribute the other OMs too ?

Have read Mastering Serv2003 (book), and looked at


Not much of a clue there on best practise..

Thanks

Adrian

 

Adrian,
No need to move the roles.
You should make each DC's a GC,
Anthony

Hello Adrian,

In asingle domain forest you can have them all on one DC, no problem. Also
make all DCs Global catalog server. See also:
