Managing Sites
The Active Directory Installation Wizard creates a default site and a default site link when you install Active Directory Domain Services on the first domain controller in a site. The default site is named Default-First-Site-Name and the default site link is called DEFAULTIPSITELINK. You can rename the default site and site link as necessary. You must create subsequent sites and site links manually.
