general question AD sites and services

[johncotter1978]

Hi,

Forgive my ignorance on this....

I've a test lab setup with 2 sites, 2 dcs and several workstations and application servers. I'm using subnets 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0

In active direcrtory sites and services only the domain controllers are showing. None of the client computers or servers are. Is this normal?

All machines are part of the domain. I'm trying to install exchange 2007, but the installer cant find the global catalog server (DNS and replication work fine)

I'm not sure if I should be adding my application server within the sites and services tool so exchange finds global catalog server.

thx

That's normal that only the DCs show. Make sure both DCs are GCs.

You can generally verify the correct site that a machine is in using

nltest /dsgetsite
