Hi,
We currently have to AD sites (A and B) on 2 two physical locations. I am considering consolidating those two site into one, as i would make many things much simpler (like Exchange deployments). We have the necessary bandwidth (redondant 1 Gb+) and low round trip latency (under 10 MB) between the 2 sites. For over 1 year now, we had and Exchange 2010 deployment on site B (no Exchange servers on site A) with 75 % of our clients on site A and it ran without any problems.
I've also changed the inter-site replication parameters to emulate intra-site replication ( (USE_NOTIFY) on DEFAULTSIEIPLINK). Again, no problems and DC replication is fast and reliable.
My questions:
- Is it possible (and supported) to consolidate 2 AD sites into one (everything from site B would be moved (logically) to site A) ?
- Is there any other considerations or impacts I might be missing that could make this idea a bad one?
Thanks in advance
