Both are wrong.

โ It helps you set replication properly across locations.
โ Devices can contact the nearest DCโbut only if you also define Subnets and tie them to a site.
๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ:
โช๏ธ In most cases, leave the replication topology at defaultโthe KCC will create and adapt the topology once sites are defined. Manual connection links can get complicated.
โช๏ธ Set intersite replication to Change Notification System (AD Configuration partition).
โช๏ธ Create sites to match physical locations, move DCs accordingly, and map subnets to sites.
Nothing more. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐?
