| Site links should still be configured the same way, and should have the same rules as a full DC (Costing, Intervals, Change Notification, etc), the only difference will be one sided connection objects (Connection Object from Hub to Branch).

| Though site topology stays the same, you should consider it in your DC placement strategy wrt RODCs, since they do still generally need access to a full DC.
So while its not true "site topology" in terms of sites, links, etc... We usually look at the topology (among other things) when figuring out whether and what kind of servers go in which site.

| The site design I'm currently running with is
Site A
DC (WINS + DNS + DHCP + FSMO)
DC (DNS + GC)
Exchange 2007 (mail boxes)
Site B
DC (WINS + DNS + DHCP)
DC (DNS + GC)
Exchange 2007 (DR server)
There will be 2 x 10mb connections between sites A & B
Site C
RODC + print server
I've been reading through joe's book and the stuff online, trying to
work out whether I just have a site link Site A + Site B + Site C, or
whether to do Site A + Site B and Site A + Site C and Site B + Site C.
But I fear that I have the dumb and can not brain today.

| OK so where is Site C connected? Is it a single domain?
A site link to whichever site it is connected to physically is sufficient so
long as there is a Windows Server 2008 RWDC in that site.
The 4th Ed of the Active Directory title you have will cover this. Should be
out in November.

| It's a dual hubbed network. Currently out of Site A & Site C, however
that should change to Site A & Site B. Both these links should be 10mb.
It's a single domain.

bridging would do with a RODC in the mix.

It's a dual hubbed network. Currently out of Site A & Site C,
however that should change to Site A & Site B. Both these links should
be 10mb. It's a single domain.

OK so where is Site C connected? Is it a single domain?
A site link to whichever site it is connected to physically is
sufficient so long as there is a Windows Server 2008 RWDC in that site.
The 4th Ed of the Active Directory title you have will cover
this. Should be out in November.

Though site topology stays the same, you should consider
it in your DC placement strategy wrt RODCs, since they do still
generally need access to a full DC.
So while its not true "site topology" in terms of sites,
links, etc... We usually look at the topology (among other things) when
figuring out whether and what kind of servers go in which site.

Site links should still be configured the same way, and
should have the same rules as a full DC (Costing, Intervals, Change

| Unless your forest has multiple domains and all the DCs are *not* GCs, then it's irrelevant. I'd aim for simplicity and have a single domain forest.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] RODC and Site Links
The FSMO placement "issue" with GCs only applies to the IM FSMO in a certain scenario. If you have multiple domains, the IM of a *certain* domain cannot sit on a GC IF there exists ANOTHER DC in the same domain that is not a GC. I'm saying certain domain, so this needs to be evaluated for every domain in the forest

The site design I'm currently running with is

DC (WINS + DNS + DHCP + FSMO)
DC (DNS + GC)
Exchange 2007 (mail boxes)
Site B
DC (WINS + DNS + DHCP)
DC (DNS + GC)

There will be 2 x 10mb connections between sites A & B
Site C
RODC + print server
I've been reading through joe's book and the stuff online, trying to work out whether I just have a site link Site A + Site B + Site C, or whether to do Site A + Site B and Site A + Site C and Site B + Site C. But I fear that I have the dumb and can not brain today.

Though site topology stays the same, you should consider it in your DC placement strategy wrt RODCs, since they do still generally need access to a full DC.
So while its not true "site topology" in terms of sites, links, etc... We usually look at the topology (among other things) when figuring out whether and what kind of servers go in which site.

but that particular caveat is per-domain, i.e. if all DCs
within a particular domain are GCs à the placement of the IM within that
domain is for the most part irrelevant.

Is there a dialog that pops up when you seize roles that warns you about
placing the IM on a GC?
My memory is that I couldn't move it to a GC when I last had to shift roles.
But I could have been mistaken.

Nod, almost
but that particular caveat is per-domain, i.e. if all DCs
within a particular domain are GCs à the placement of the IM within that
domain is for the most part irrelevant.

Unless all DCs in the entire forest are GGs.

The FSMO placement issue with GCs only applies to the IM FSMO in a certain
scenario. If you have multiple domains, the IM of a *certain* domain cannot
sit on a GC IF there exists ANOTHER DC in the same domain that is not a GC.
Im saying certain domain, so this needs to be evaluated for every domain in
the forest

At this stage the design is sitting like that until I get a chance to read
up on what FSMO roles can and can't go on a GC, and whether the rules would
change if the single domain grew into a forest.

Single domain? Why arent both DCs in Site A & B a GC?

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] RODC and Site Links
The site design I'm currently running with is
Site A
DC (WINS + DNS + DHCP + FSMO)
DC (DNS + GC)
Exchange 2007 (mail boxes)
Site B
DC (WINS + DNS + DHCP)
DC (DNS + GC)
Exchange 2007 (DR server)
There will be 2 x 10mb connections between sites A & B
Site C
RODC + print server
I've been reading through joe's book and the stuff online, trying to work
out whether I just have a site link Site A + Site B + Site C, or whether to
do Site A + Site B and Site A + Site C and Site B + Site C. But I fear that
I have the dumb and can not brain today.

Though site topology stays the same, you should consider it in your DC
placement strategy wrt RODCs, since they do still generally need access to a
full DC.
So while its not true "site topology" in terms of sites, links, etc... We
usually look at the topology (among other things) when figuring out whether
and what kind of servers go in which site.

Site links should still be configured the same way, and should have the same
rules as a full DC (Costing, Intervals, Change Notification, etc), the only
difference will be one sided connection objects (Connection Object from Hub
to Branch).

Do sites containing only a Read-Only Domain Controller have any bearing on
site link design? There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the
documentation
