SMS Sites and IP ranges

[quinla01]

Hi guys, after some advice on Site planning here. I'm an administrator in an organization that has a main office containing around 300 computers. We also have offices in 40 other physical locations that are connected to the main office by 2MB or 10MB dedicated leased lines, each location consists of no more than 20 clients (no domain controllers or servers).

The current infrastucture consistst of 4 domain controllers in the main office. There are 2 sites conifgured (say site1 and site2) each site has two domain controllers. The main purpose for the site configuration is security ( wont get into the detials unless required).

I was wondering if it is possible to configure each of the 40 remote offices as seperate sites even though they do not have a domain controller to help the administration of SMS and also to help me better manage my ip ranges in active driector sites and services. How would i configure active directory sites and services? Would i give each new site instructions on which domain controllers to connect to?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Andy

Well, have 1 primary in your main office with your ad sites as its boundaries and you could just put PDP's with the subnet of the office in each location...that should work really well for you. With the way you have this setup already it should be a breeze!
