Managing Secondary Site

Question

So I found a TechNet article on installing a secondary site, and got it going as far as any logs says it's going but now what?
Where and how do I manage it? I tried googling and only found articles on installing a secondary site but no continuation on - Now that you have your secondary site installed go here to manage it.
Why a secondary site? It's in a different domain, part of the same forest, with very few clients and I didn't really want to associate it with the Stand Alone Primary site as they have a slow network.
I figured, open the Management Console, put in its name much like connecting to a Primary site and bam, you're done. Ick, a few errors.
Okay, then I thought, just connect to the primary site. Okay, add domain user to local administrator group and go...sort of, but finally I can connect to the Primary site. Yay!
But again, now what?

Hey Jason,
As always, it's a pleasure to get a nugget from you.
Yes, I have some learning to do.  At the moment I'm slogging through Microsoft's Virtual Academy for SCCM, but before having done that I was poking along with just the imaging aspect of things and branched out to adding DPs and a few days ago wanting
to get the  Windows Updates wrangled in which at the moment for one domain (A) it works groovy.  For the Domain B, I haven't integrated their WUS in to the mix.
On a client in Domain A, I go in to the wuahandler.log and see the lines...
Its a WSUS Update Source type ({22DDB6A6-E5A4-4493-8F90-EAD9875024B6}), adding it. WUAHandler 6/28/2014 2:00:01 AM 3836 (0x0EFC)
Enabling WUA Managed server policy to use server:
http://WSUS.mylittledomain.com:8530 WUAHandler 6/28/2014 2:00:01 AM 3836 (0x0EFC)
Waiting for 2 mins for Group Policy to notify of WUA policy change... WUAHandler 6/28/2014 2:00:01 AM 3836 (0x0EFC)
Waiting for 30 secs for policy to take effect on WU Agent. WUAHandler 6/28/2014 2:00:09 AM 3836 (0x0EFC)
Added Update Source ({22DDB6A6-E5A4-4493-8F90-EAD9875024B6}) of content type: 2 WUAHandler 6/28/2014 2:00:39 AM 3836 (0x0EFC)
YAY it works...
I go to a client in Domain B, which points to their own WUS and don't quite see the same thing.

So I figure, I need to some how get SCCM to be aware of the other domain's WUS (I know, it's WSUS, just seems redundant to have that first 'S') Sooo, I added the role to it. I don't recall the outcome of that, but perhaps I should revisit it to get a feel
for the deal of it. Anyway, I'm blathering at this point.
Anyway, perhaps I'm hoping to find an honest-to-goodness blog that walks through Enterprise level dealings with SCCM in a non-CAS environment, and multiple WSUS servers, DPs, MPs, and cool stuff like that for each of the domains in the enterprise.
That shows you how it's working, how to verify it is doing what it is suppose to do and stuff like that. Gone one?
As for books, do you have any recommendations? Got my Kindle all fired up and ready to go...but then tech books seems to lack on e-devices...Ick. Poor formatting and such.
And one other thing, about DPs that's got me baffled, and this is lack of understanding. I had a co-working IT guy call me some time ago and tell me that Firefox was failing to install. I looked at the log and scratched my head and saw that it was a boundary
issue of sorts. His laptop belongs to Domain A, but was connected to the network in Domain C which may or may not have been part of the Forest. Sooo, I looked at that and scratched my head, and then said OK let's just add his network information
to my boundary...Yay it worked. So I got to recognize boundary issues (And how to correctly spell boundary too). You are probably cringing at this point, if not already. But I'm guessing I over did it? I really have to figure out how boundaries work
so that matter where a Domain A computer is at it can get content (Which was the issue, it couldn't find the content) from hopefully the closest content source. Meanwhile maintaining that Domain B computers are suppose to do the same thing.
Ok, I'll go read now. Again. :(
Look forward to hearing back from you.
