Hello all. First off, thank you for reading this question on a forum dedicated to audio matters. This question has nothing to do with audio. But given my high opinion of the technical expertise floating around this forum, it made sense to ask here.

I am teaching myself Active Directory through trial and error. Let's say I have 6 servers, in geographically removed sites, sites A through G.

The VPN I have created ties all sites B through G back to A through a hub and spoke arrangement. For my own reasons, I do not want site B to access site C, etc.

When initially setting up the domains for each server, I chose the option that ended with them attempting to replicate all domain information about each child among all other children.

I would like to correct this, so that each child only attempts to replicate to parent. The children should not talk to each other.

After a few hours of browsing Microsoft's less than helpful knowledge base, I have decided I need to ask for help. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you all for your time and assistance.
