Multi sites scenario
|

| I like to discuss the question with you:
A company has two offices A and B in deferent geographical regional; connected by WAN link, each office is configured in a separate Site for replication, each Site is configured in an OU, one of the department’s Users moved from office A to office B, you also transported one of the DC’s from office A and connect it to the subnet in office B.
Now the users complaining that network connectivity between the two offices is slow.
How can you improve the network traffic performance?
My answer was to move the DC in question from Site A to Site B.
To not effect your input here lets see your answers first. | |

| Each site is defined by a subnet, and the DC's located in the site. If you physically move a DC, you must also make that change in your site design. If you don't, you'll get network connectivity problems because AD shows the DC located in one site, but that DC has an IP address in another site.
The solution is to either move the DC back to its original site, or place it in the correct site in AD Sites and Services. | |

That's my opinion exactly, simple 
but what about the effect of Moving the DC in quesion to the OU of the target Site?
which I don't believe in !!!
could that be a solution also? | |

Sorry I mean "each office configured in an OU" | |

| The OU would not effect replication or access to services. The solution stated above regarding the issue of subnets defined in AD is all that is needed.
OUs are a logical construct of AD, used to delegate administration, apply group policy and control access to directory objects. Your example company could even have an OU that has every single DC in it, regardless of their physical location. But the assignment of subnets and IP addresses for the servers would be critical to the replication and availability of services. | |

Yes it's that, the company have an OU that has every single DC in it, right;
so there is no way to say move the DC in question from OU of office A to the OU of office B. correct? | |

| It would not resolve the issue from your original question and disregarding whatever GPO are applied to the sites, you would not accomplish much of anything else. | |
