Apart from installing and configuring particular server roles, the administrator needs to configure a few additional settings in various places that relate to the whole environment. Places for these settings are as follows:
- Hierarchy site settings: The place to configure settings related to hierarchy. These settings need to be configured even when the environment is contained from one primary site server.
- Primary site settings: The place to configure settings for a single primary site server.
The settings that are about to be discussed are important, not only from the functional point of view, but they also play important role in securing the system.
