Status: offline 		Just a quick one, can someone please confirm the following (I'll explain why I need it confirming later :) ).

Say I have 1 Primary server on it's own AD site, and 1 secondary server in another AD site.

In the site boundaries for my primary server I shouldn't have both AD sites listed, correct?

Am I right in saying you shouldn't have the same site defined in 2 different SMS Site Server boundaries?

Status: offline 		you add the AD site to the primary server depending if you want to manage that site (AD site subnetts)  If your secondary server in on another site  you need to add both sites to the primary

Status: offline 		Secondary server is on another subnet/site to the Primary and acts as DP etc to clients on it's subnet.  If I added the subnet/site of the secondary into the site boundary of the primary wouldn't that cause an overlap and thus problems?  Would that mean clients on the Secondary site/subnet would try to use the Primary for things when it should be using the secondary site?

The problem I have is I raised a support call about a product we are using and they have said I need to add in all my sites/subnets into the primary site boundary for it to work correctly.  But I'm worried as this will cause overlaps as all the sites/subnets will be defined on their local server as well as on the Primary.

Status: offline 		you can only assinge a boundary to a primary site to me managed.  When you add a seconday site, you will notice that it will add the the (subnett) info up in the higharchy boundary settigns.  Are you refering to boundary set at the Distribution Point level?

Status: offline 		No I'm talking about boundaries at the site level (I think).

i.e. right click on the site > properties > site boundaries

Secondary all sites have the following roles:

CAP
MP
Site Server
DP
SMS Component Server

Their site boundaries are all set with just their own subnets, nothing else.

The single primary site is set with just it's own subnet in it's site boundary, nothing else.

This works fine for us (as it should after a health check by 1E set most of this up before I joined!).

However someone is now telling me to add in all my secondary site subnets into my primary site server site boundary to get an application to work, which to me sounds wrong from what I've read on here.

I thought as much, I wish 1E would make their mind up then as one guy is telling me to do this :)
