Sites and facilities

The lab models the real Bingham Healthcare footprint: eight towns, each an AD Site with its own subnet, and the actual buildings as a facility OU tree. Built by make sites and make facilities.

AD Sites and Subnets

Each town is a Site in Sites and Services, with a /24 subnet. This makes DC-locator site-aware and lets the RODC live in a branch site, exactly as real AD does. dc1 is in Blackfoot-HQ; rodc1 is in Pocatello.

Site	Subnet	Notes
Blackfoot-HQ	10.22.22.0/24	Primary site, dc1, the hospital
Idaho-Falls	10.22.23.0/24	Large branch
Pocatello	10.22.24.0/24	Large branch, rodc1
Chubbuck	10.22.25.0/24	Branch
Ammon	10.22.26.0/24	Branch
Shelley	10.22.27.0/24	Small branch
Soda-Springs	10.22.28.0/24	Small branch
Arco	10.22.29.0/24	Visiting-specialist site

make show-sites prints the subnet-to-site map and which DC lives in each site. The diagram below is generated from the live config partition by make diagrams:

  nsiteSodaSprings["Soda-Springs<br/>10.22.28.0/24"]

How the primary site was created

Rather than relocate the live writable DC’s server object, setup-sites.sh renames the default site to Blackfoot-HQ. A rename relocates the whole subtree (the server and its NTDS settings) atomically, so dc1 never moves out from under itself. Only rodc1 is actually moved, into the Pocatello branch. See Multi-site and AD Sites.

Facility OU tree

The real buildings become an OU tree under OU=Locations, one OU per town and one per facility. The standout is Blackfoot’s Medical Office Plaza, three nested floor OUs at one address, mirroring the real building where each floor is a different specialty cluster.

This tree is generated from the live directory by make diagrams, so it always matches the OUs that actually exist:

The famous-doctor cast is seeded directly into these facility OUs, so the directory’s geography is real even though the staffing is a joke. See the famous cast.

Grounding in reality

This structure comes straight from the real network survey (the eight towns, the floor-stacked plaza, the branded urgent-care chain, the visiting-specialist site in Arco). The lab keeps the real town names because geography is geography; the creative liberty is all in who staffs it.
