Hello, Reading about, specifically in the wiki <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Active_Directory_Sites> link, says the following about subnets. "Create a subnet entry for all subnets in your network and assign them to a site:" The subnet on which our DCs are configured is a public IP block, but the client machines are in a subnet with a private address block. Do I need to configure all the subnets that we have in our network or only to which the DCs are configured? -- Elias Pereira

If you have hundreds of subnets, just use a CIDR notation such as ie., 10.0.0.0/8 if needed, so as to not type them all out. For DC's that are not present on a subnet, assign the subnet to the closet site to a DC. -- -JAMES
Thanks for the answer ligpanda101!! For DC's that are not present on a subnet, assign the subnet to the closet> site to a DCVisibly via RSAT, how would that look?
