Managing a site
After creating an Active Directory site, you might need to manage it. You might want to do the following:
- Rename it.
- Change its description.
- Change its location.
- Delete it.
- Delegate control over it.
Getting ready
To manage an Active Directory site, you'll need to be signed in with an account that is a member of the Enterprise Admins group or with an account that has been delegated permissions to manage the Active Directory site.
If your aim is to delete an Active Directory site, remove any domain controller for the site first by right-clicking the domain controller object(s) under the site node and selecting Move. Alternatively, demote the domain controller.
How to do it...
The manageable properties of an Active Directory site are stored in its attributes. The best ways to change them are through Active Directory Sites and Services and the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell.
