SIMULATION You plan to promote a domain controller named DC3 in a site in Seattle. You need to ensure that DC3 only replicates with DC1 and DC2 between 8 PM and 6 AM. To complete this task, sign in the required computer or computers. Answer:

Step 1: Create a site link between Seattle and the site in which DC1 and DC2 are located (if the site link does not already exist. If the site link already exists, then skip Step 1). Step 2: To open Active Directory Sites and Services, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Sites and Services. Open Active Directory Sites and Services. Step 3: In the console tree, click the intersite transport folder that contains the site link for which you are configuring intersite replication availability. Step 4: In the details pane, right-click the site link whose schedule you want to configure, and then click Properties. Step 5: Click Change Schedule. Step 6: Select the block of time during which you want replication to be either available or not available, and then click Replication Not Available or Replication Available, respectively. Change the schedule to: from 8 PM to 6 AM. Note: Site link Site links are Active Directory objects that represent logical paths that the KCC uses to establish a connection for Active Directory replication. A site link object represents a set of sites that can communicate at uniform cost through a specified intersite transport. All sites contained within the site link are considered to be connected by means of the same network type. Sites must be manually linked to other sites by using site links so that domain controllers in one site can replicate directory changes from domain controllers in another site. Because site links do not correspond to the actual path taken by network packets on the physical network during replication, you do not need to create redundant site links to improve Active Directory replication efficiency. When two sites are connected by a site link, the replication system automatically creates connections between specific domain controllers in each site that are called bridgehead servers. Reference:
