RS1 Posted September 10, 2013 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 We brought in a consultant for our SCCM 2012 SP1 install and he advised that, because we have two child domains, we have three primary sites pointing to our CAS. My access as Domain Admin of the parent domain is to the CAS and the first primary site. Today I have started adding in applications and collections but have struggled because I've been advised, many times, that I cannot create a collection or application because the name must be unique. We later on found that one of our other primary sites have these collections. Who knew HR, IT and Finance would be such common names? So my question is this...if you can deploy applications from any site to pretty much anywhere else, if you have to create every app, report, folder, collection with unique names, what is the actual point of having multiple primary sites at all? The only difference I can see is where the actual database is stored but given this was never going to be an issue for us I'm not sure why we have so many sites. Should I even bother creating applications in each site when I can just link the various collections elsewhere? I can't help but feeling I'm missing something and I could do with a little advice on how best to manage multiple sites. Thanks in advance.

GarthMJ Posted September 10, 2013 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 Are all of your domains within one forest? Are you considering starting over? How many clients do you have? Best practice is for all admin to connect to the CAS and do their work there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
