Site Link Membership

Can an AD site be a member of two different site links?
Our network is a full mesh MPLS with various link speeds so I would like to control what sites replicate with each other. For example, for 4 sites with the same high speed links I was going to create a site link called Core and set replication schedule to
every 60 minutes:
When sites are part of a site link, is a full mesh topology automatically created between them?
Also, if I then wanted to force a site with a low speed link to only replicate with one of the 4 core sites I.E. Site A would i just create another site link and add the core site and the new site? If so how would costing affect this scenario if at all?

Please keep in mind that just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should.  I have managed and advised site topology for years for hundreds of companies and only
very rarely is there a need to do what you are describing.  Unless there is a specific business reason for doing so, I would personally not mess with the site link costing.  Keep in mind, that technology was born from the need of the day. 
When AD was introduced, connection speeds were painfully slow and bandwidth needed to be managed.  Admins needed to prevent replication from saturating connections needed for business apps and users.  Remember, a high speed link in those days 128k
to 256k.  A far cry from the performance of every MPLS network I have seen. 
Replication topology is largely controlled by the KCC and ISTG and I guarantee you can't out think the algorithm it uses.  By throttling your replication you are effectively killing performance.  For a fully routed MPLS network I would either
use the defaults or even consider using Change Notification so you are sending smaller chunks more often. 
Again, unless you have a specific business reason for doing what you are proposing, I would recommend leaving it alone. My 2 cents.

  • My Site Links Not Working When Using Alternate Access Mapping

    I have a SharePoint Site Collection under my main
    Web Application: mywebapp:80.
    I had to extend this to an Intranet zone
    Web Application: mywebapp:101.
    I am able to open my Site Collection from either address. The authentication protocols for both are the same.
    When provisioning the User Profile Service and configuring
    My Site, the
    My Site Host Location must be supplied, in this case: http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite
    I housed my My Site Host under the same Web Application as my
    Site Collection.
    When accessing My Site for any given user from mywebapp:80, all the links of user photos point to that same
    Web Application, which is expected.
    i.e. When on http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person1 , all the links of photos of other users are http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person2,
    etc.
    When accessing My Site for any given user from my extension, mywebapp:101, all the links of user photos still point to the old address.
    i.e. When on http://mywebapp:101/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person1 , all the links of photos of other users are still on http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person2,
    etc.
    So I figured that the My Site Host configuration under the
    User Profile Service will just literally follow the initial URL specified. That said, I ask:
    1.) Is there no way that the My Site links will be able to adjust depending on the URL I am accessing it from?
    2.) What are possible implementation alternatives for cases like this when I need to use
    My Site under 1
    Web Application and have to make it available on
    multiple host names?

    Hi Noel,
    perhaps this thread is similar with your question:

    any way, for your 2 questions,
    perhaps you can give us more details about the scenario?
    as i know,
    mysite able to adjust, but you may need to configure the the host of the mysite, for example:
    1. to the User Profile Service Application (UPA) and changed the MySite URL, few sites show the new URL and few show the old one.
    2. to Central Admin and found there may 2-UPAs created.
    3. changed the MySite settings on both the UPAs, created Managed Paths wherever necessary and then changed associations of all web applications to one of the main UPA
    for configuring the multiple host, you may check with your IIS, and add the bindings,

  • Full site link code to override mobile redirect in Adobe Muse

    Hi - I've set up a desktop and mobile site in Muse.  I allow Muse to generate the code that automatically goes to either the desktop or mobile version depending on which type of device the user is using.
    On the mobile version I have a simple "welcome" page and a link that says "click to enter mobile site"
    I also want to have a link below that one that says "click to enter full site"  But when I make this link and you click on it, it doesn't go to the desktop version but loops back to the mobile version (because of the view code Muse creates).
    Is there a way for me to make the "full site" link code to "override" the Muse code to force the desktop version to display on the mobile device?
    Thanks for any assistance on this.

  • Sharepoint Sites link not creating in Hybrid Office installation on TS

    Hi all,
    Run into an issue where the 'Sharepoint Sites' link won't create in the user profile \ favourites when using the Connect to Office function from Libraries.
    This is an on premise Sharepoint 2013 installation. Users connect to different Terminal Servers to access Office 2010 applications.
    Issue only affects new users.
    What I've found is if the new user is logged into a Terminal Server that has any Office 2013 applications installed on it. (In this case Sharepoint Designer 2013 or Project 2013)
    The user regkey HKCU\Software\AppDataLow\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Portal gets created. Subsequently clicking Connect to Office seems to fail. I suspect this is because it knows the Office installation is only 2010 & tries to create the Publishing
    time stamp key in HKCU\Software\AppDataLow\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Portal but this path does not exist.
    Logging the user into a Terminal Server that only has Office 2010 installed generates the correct Regkeys & the Sharepoint Sites link creates successfully in the user profile.
    Has anyone else seen this or know of a fix to get around the Office2013 being used as the default regkey path?
    Cheers

  • Active Directory Logon / Site Link Bridge Issue

    Dear NC,
    i have an issue with users in different Locations, to explain easyest here is a little network diagram:
    So, as one can see, i have 4 Locations, one is the Headquarter.
    The Target Goal is: Users in Location C must Logon with Domaincredentials from Sub.domain.tld from Location A.
    Location HQ, A and B are fully routed, Location C has only a route to Location B.
    Every Location has at least one writable DC with GC ans DNS Server installed.
    I have the following site links:
    HQ<>A
    HQ<>B
    A<>B
    B<>C
    and also a Site Link Bridge with "A<>B" and "B<>C".
    Unfortunatly Users cannot logon in Location C with sub.domain.tld Domaincredentials from Location A.
    Need a bit help, thx :-)
    -Bernd

    Hi Bernd,
    I am sorry that I am a little confused here, would you please clarify what do you mean by “Users in Location C must Logon with Domaincredentials from Sub.domain.tld from Location A”?
    From what I understand, you have two domains:
    domain.tld and sub.domain.tld, and you want that user accounts in
    sub.domain.tld (location A) can logon from domain.tld (location C), am I right?
    If that is your goal, please make sure the following conditions are true:
    During the logon process, specify the right domain name which is like
    @sub.domain.tld.
    The GC in location C is available to identify the appropriate Domain Controller for authentication process.
    There is no network connectivity issues between location A and C, because after GC located a DC in location A, the logon process will take place between location A and C.
    In addition, every site should have good network connectivity with at least another site to keep AD replication healthy. If there are critical errors in your HQ site, we should try
    to resolve them.

    Hi Vinod,
    Thank you for your question.
    We could run the following command to check if the issue persist:
    Set-SendConnector –Identity <SendConnectorname> -IgnoreStartTLS $false
    You could also send NDR to [email protected] for our troubleshooting.
    Ans:- between AD site mail rout via AD site Link and i have checked the size limit is "Unlimited"..
    Did you mean you have checked the limited of send connector?
    There are following limitation on Exchange server, we could check it by command:
    Global/Organizational Limit: Get-TransportConfig
    Send Connector: Get-SendConnector <send connector name>
    Receive Connector: Get-ReceivConnector<receive connector name>
    Active Directory SiteLink Limit:( you have check)
    Server Limits(transport rule: 15M in this case)
    User Level Limits: Get-Mailbox “User Name” | Format-Table Name,*Max*

  • What is a Site Link Cost?

    I'm a Student trying to get MCITP. Please tell me when i am configuring Replication between sites, What is the site link cost means? What can i do from that? please tell me
    Regards,
    Ashane Deshapriya.
    Ashane Deshapriya ( MCP )

    Hi Ashane Deshapriya,
    The cost setting on a site link object determines the likelihood that replication occurs over a particular route between two site. Relication routes with the lowest cumulative cost are preferred. You can use this procedure to configure replication cost on
    the site link object in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). When you create or modify site links, use the site link object properties to configure the relative cost of using the site link.
    For your information, please refer to the following articles to get more help:

  • Are Secondary AD Site links actually required?

    Consider this: You have three AD sites; A, B, and C.
    All three have independent network connections to each other, and all three have multiple domain controllers.
    Connectivity and reliability at Site B is best, so you decide you use that as the hub of your replication topology. You configure an A-B site link, and a B-C site link.
    Question: Do you actually need an A-C site link in case connectivity to B goes down?  Or will the KCC attempt to make that connection on its own, based on the existing links?

    No A-C site link needed if you have not disabled "Bridge all site links" (BASL). By default, BASL is enabled.
    See
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756899(v=WS.10).aspx , Site link transitivity:
    "By default all site links are transitive, or "bridged." When site links are bridged and the schedules overlap, the KCC creates replication connections that determine domain controller replication partners between sites, where the sites are
    not directly connected by site links but are connected transitively through a set of common sites."

  • Site link failed

    Hi All,
    We have a client with one CAS & 4 primary sites (All the sites are SCCM 2012 R2) because of some maintenance work one of the primary site was down for few hours & now in site hierarchy the link shows as failed. when we hover over the link it
    shows that the Global data replication between the CAS & the Primary site is failing.
    What we have tried :-
    1. Run the replication link analyzer - Its unable to resolve the issue & just shows the names of replication groups which are failing.
    2. Run the  SPdiagdrs command on primary site DB - This shows the Global replication groups which are failing & are not active.
    3. Run the Update RCM_DRSInitilazationTracking set initializationstatus=7 where ReplicationGroup = "Group Name" - To reinitialize the replication.
    4. configuration data.pub      => Drop these on Primary server  RCM.BOX - As mentioned
    here. This solved the issue initially but the replication was failed again after some time.
    5. rcmctrl.log on CAS shows this error :-

  • Need help with sed to fix migrated web site links (part II)

    I thought I had this fixed, but I didn't, so starting over:
    I'm moving my web files from one host to another, and have backed up my directory called WEB into my user downloads folder.  The site is dead simple, mostly links within the site, pages primarily text with some links to my photos posted on flickr, and a few outside links.  I want to avoid opening/replacing/saving a hundred or more files to fix the links from "http://www.old_domain_name/user/my_username" to "http://my_new_domain_name"
    A friend suggested the following scripts to do this
      mkdir fix_urls
      cd fix_urls
      cp -r <wherever>/WEB .
      cd WEB
      xargs -0 egrep -i  old_domain_name $(find * -name "*.html" -print0) > ../to_fix
      cd ..
      less to_fix
    to see what needs changing, but after I've created and moved to WEB, the xargs command results in a zero kb file called to_fix appearing in WEB, and nothing else happens....and the prompt in terminal (myusername$) doesn't reappear.
    I tried his part II anyway:
      mkdir new_web
      while read filename; do
          sed 's/\/www.old_domain_name/user/my_username/\/my_new_domain_name/' < WEB/$filename > new_web/$filename
      done
      diff -r WEB new_web > what_i_did
      less what_i_did
    and after the 'done', I get again....nothing.  No new cursor gray rectangle, no new prompt, haven't even gotten to the last bit of diff to review the changes.
    Any tips on what fundamental bone-headed thing I'm doing wrong?
    and I got this helpful answer which seemed to have solved it, but didn't entirely:
    This solved my question by X423424X  on Jul 1, 2012 1:23 AM
    I want to avoid opening/replacing/saving a hundred or more files to fix the links from "http://www.old_domain_name/user/my_username" to "http://my_new_domain_name"
    If that's all you want to do then here's the pertinent sed command to do it:
    sed -e 's,www.old_domain_name/user/my_username,my_new_domain_name,'
    Syntax is a bit simpler when you don't use slashes as the sed substitute delimiters.  You can use anything.  Here I used commas.
    I got excited too quickly after the first file I clicked looked correct--the first file in the subdirectory.
    I see no indication in terminal that the process is going or ending--no sense of when I can close terminal and move on.
    Checking the directory in finder shows no updates to 'date modified' for any of the files.
    So how do I know if it is in progress, or done working, aside from opening random files to see if they're 'done'?

  • Templates show up as having broken links in site link check

    CS6
    I have about 20 templates for my site, and a couple of them show up as having broken links when I do a check links site wide search?
    When I make changes to these particular templates now, the new links and associated pages will show up as having broken links also?
    Then when I map the new pages to the correct page, I get the template is locked message?
    I suspect the problem starts with why are the templates being included in the link check to begin with.
    Any thoughts will be appreciated.
