Chapter 9. Creating a Site Topology

As we mentioned in Chapter 5, there are two aspects to replication:

  • How data gets replicated around an existing network of links between DCs

  • How the Knowledge Consistency Checker generates and maintains the replication links between servers, both intrasite and intersite

We covered the former in Chapter 5, and we'll cover the latter here, leading to an explanation of how to properly design a representation of your organization's network infrastructure within Active Directory.
