Synopsis

Creates a new Active Directory replication site in the directory.

Description

The New-ADReplicationSite cmdlet is used to create new sites in Active Directory replication. Sites are used in Active Directory to either enable clients to discover network resources (published shares, domain controllers) close to the physical location of a client computer or to reduce network traffic over wide area network (WAN) links. Sites can also be used to optimize replication between domain controllers.

    Accept wildcard characters?  false

-AutomaticInterSiteTopologyGenerationEnabled <Boolean>
    Prevents the KCC that functions as the intersite topology generator (ISTG) from generating connections for intersite replication. Use this option when you want to create manual intersite connections (disable the ISTG) but retain the KCC to generate intrasite connections.
