Active Directory provides the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in, which enables you to perform all configuration activities pertinent to sites. When you first open this snap-in, you will notice folders named Subnets and Inter-Site Transports, as well as a site named Default-First-Site-Name. By default, the new domain controller is placed in this site when you install Active Directory. You can rename this site to whatever you wish just as you can rename a file or folder. This section shows you how to create sites, add domain controllers to sites, and associate IP subnets with specific sites.
Note
You can also use Active Directory Sites and Services to manage Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instances. AD LDS is discussed in more detail in Chapter 4, “Configuring Additional Active Directory Roles.”
