When you create an Active Directory site, the Active Directory automatically assigns the role of bridgehead server to one domain controller. The bridgehead server sends and receives replication data from remote sites. OUs can also serve as administrative and security boundaries. Different security standards can be placed on OUs, including different group policies. Administratively, an OU can be delegated so that a certain administrator or group controls it. With an OU, you can set security for a subset of an existing domain, have different administrators manage, and place different policies on the OU Sites are not a part of the DNS namespace, but they are maintained for traffic and replication flow purposes. When you define various sites within the Active Directory Sites and Services tool, you enable the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) and other Active Directory services to know that your en...
