You definitely want to think about keeping things in sync across all your sites. One of the biggest things to focus on is your directory configurations. I suggest using the same schema and configuration across all your LDAP servers. This means that any changes or modifications you want to implement should be carefully replicated across all instances.
I've found that establishing a solid replication strategy really helps. You want to set up your LDAP servers to replicate changes in real-time when possible. This way, if you add, modify, or delete an entry in one directory, it reflects almost instantly across the others.
Monitoring is another area where I think you should put some effort. Keeping an eye on the health of all your LDAP servers will save you from surprises down the line. You might want to use tools that automatically alert you if something goes wrong, like if one site goes down or if replication fails.
It's also important to document everything. I keep a good log of all configurations, changes, and any incidents that happen. This helps you troubleshoot issues more easily and ensures that everyone on your team is on the same page.
Lastly, I recommend using a good backup solution. I've had great experiences with BackupChain. It's designed for SMBs and professionals and can handle backups for various systems, including Hyper-V, VMware, or Windows Server. This way, your data is secure and you can quickly restore it if something goes off track. You'll appreciate having that peace of mind!
