Using Windows PowerShell

Alternatively, Active Directory sites can be managed using the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell.

Use the following lines of PowerShell to rename an Active Directory site:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory 
 
Rename-ADObject -Identity "CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=Lucernpub,DC=com" -NewName "ADSite2"

Use the following lines of PowerShell to change the description of an Active Directory site:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory 

Set-ADReplicationSite -Identity "CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=Lucernpub,DC=com" -Description "New description here"

Use the following lines of PowerShell to change the location of an Active Directory site:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory 

Set-ADReplicationSite "CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=Lucernpub,DC=com" -Location "New location here"
