We are setting up a domain controller for a collocation. Currently the
collocation server is a member server of the domain and reside on the local
site and subnet. Also, we currently run both subnets in the same office with
two Cisco Pix firewalls connected through site-to-site VPN. We are planning
to make the collocation server a domain controller and host it on a remote
site once we move the second Pix firewall to the collocation facility. My
question is: Should we promote the server to domain controller while it
reside on the same subnet, create the second site and subnet in AD and then
move the controller to the new site? Or, should we first create the second
site and subnet in AD, move the server to the new site and then promote it
to a domain controller? What would be best practice? Thank you. C
