Configuring Sites and Managing Replication
Installing a CA is beyond the scope of this training kit. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit (located on the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microson.com/ windowsserver2003/techinfo/reskit/resourcekit.mspx) for more information on this topic.
The following rules apply to the replication transports:
Intrasite replication always uses RPC over IP.
Intersite replication can use either RPC over IP or SMTP.
Intersite replication using SMTP is supported only for domain controllers in different domains. Domain controllers in the same domain must replicate using RPC
over IP.
Use the Inter-Site Transports container to map the site link to the replication transport. If you create the site link in the IP container, it will use RPC over IP as its transport protocol. If you create the site link in the SMTP container, it will use SMTP as its transport protocol.
To create a site link, complete the following steps:
1.Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Sites And Services.
2.Open the Inter-Site Transports folder and right-click either the IP or SMTP folder,depending on which protocol you want the site to use. Select New Site Link.
If you create a site link that uses SMTF? you must have an enterprise A plus certification online available and SMTP must be installed on all domain controllers that use the site link.
3.In the New Object-Site Link dialog box, shown in Figure 5-10, type the name to be given to the site link in the Name field. Use a name that includes the sites that you are linking.
4. In the Sites Not In This Site Link box, click two or more sites to connect, and then click Add. Click OK.
To rename a site link, complete the following steps:
1.Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Sites And Services.
Open the Inter-Site Transports folder and double-click either the IP or SMTP folder, depending on the location of the site link you want to rename.
3.In the details pane, right-click the site link you want to rename, and then click Rename.
4.Type the new site link name over the existing site link name. Click in an empty part of the details pane.
To add a site to an existing site link, complete the following steps:
1.Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Sites And Services.
2.Open the Inter-Site Transports folder and either the IP or SMTP folder, and then right-click the site link to which you want to add the site. Click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box for the site link, in the Sites Not In This Site Link box,click the free CompTIA practice tests site you want to add to this site link, and then click Add. Click OK.
