Active directory sites and services

4

I have 192.168.1.0/23 subnet for wired connection and 192.168.2.0/24 for wireless connection. Do I need to add 192.168.2.0 in AD Sites & services. Right now I have 192.168.1.0/24 added in the subnet but not 192.168.2.0/24. So for correct user authentication to their respective DC do I need to add the 192.168.2.0/24 in the subnet?

Are these subnets connected by high speed (e.g. LAN speed) links or slower WAN links? – I say Reinstate Monica – 2015-06-22T03:26:15.280

Sites and Services pertains mostly to replication and different physical sites:

In your physical network, a site represents a set of computers that are connected by a high-speed network, such as a local area network (LAN). Typically, all computers in the same physical site reside in the same building or perhaps the same campus network.

In AD DS, a site object represents the aspects of the physical site that you can manage, specifically, replication of directory data between domain controllers. You can use Active Directory Sites and Services to manage the objects that represent the sites and the servers that reside in those sites.

So no, you would not need to add another subnet for your wireless connection.
