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?

It does a good job explaining the steps to create sites and subnets. Additionally when you go to create the subnet, the GUI will provide examples on how to enter for IPv4 and IPv6 subnets. I hope this helps. To configure additional Active Directory sites 1. On the primary domain controller, click *Start*, and then click *Active Directory Sites and Services*. 2. In the Active Directory Sites and Services console, in the console tree, right-click *Sites*, and then click *New Site*. 3. On the *New Object - Site* dialog box, in the *Name* box, enter a name for the new site. 4. In *Link Name*, click a site link object, and then click *OK* twice. 5. In the console tree, expand *Sites*, right-click *Subnets*, and then click *New Subnet*. 6. On the *New Object - Subnet* dialog box, under *Prefix*, type the IPv4 or IPv6 subnet prefix, in the *Select a site object for this prefix* list, click the site to associate with this subnet, and then click *OK*. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have created all the subnets required in your deployment. 8. Close Active Directory Sites and Services. -James
It sure helps!! Thank you!! :) As for the basic configuration of sites, I had already done and it is ok. My doubt was about your placement regarding subnets where the DC would not be directly connected, would be placed as close to a site as possible. I could not see it via RSAT. Anyway, thank you for your willingness to help!
