Is it possible to make the bridge head server manually? if yes then how?

Yes, it is possible to manually designate a bridgehead server in Active Directory. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the Active Directory Sites and Services console. You can open it by typing “dsa.msc” in the Run dialog box or by searching for “Active Directory Sites and Services” in the Start menu.
2. Expand the Sites node, and then expand the site for which you want to designate a bridgehead server.
3. Right-click the Inter-Site Transports folder, and then select Properties from the context menu.
4. In the Inter-Site Transport Properties dialog box, select the transport protocol for which you want to designate a bridgehead server (IP or SMTP), and then click the Add button.
5. In the Add Bridgehead Server dialog box, select the server that you want to designate as the bridgehead server, and then click OK.
6. In the Inter-Site Transport Properties dialog box, select the bridgehead server that you just added, and then click the Set as Bridgehead button.
7. In the Set Bridgehead Server dialog box, configure the bridgehead server settings by selecting the appropriate options for the following fields:
   1. Connection Schedule: Specify the replication schedule for the connection.
   1. Connection Type: Specify the type of connection for the bridgehead server (i.e., hub or spoke).
   1. Connection Costs: Specify the costs for the connection.
8. Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog box.
9. Repeat the above steps to designate additional bridgehead servers for other transport protocols, if necessary.

It’s important to note that when manually designating a bridgehead server, you should ensure that the server has appropriate network connectivity and is capable of handling the replication traffic for the site. Additionally, it’s important to regularly review and update the bridgehead server configuration to ensure that replication traffic is optimized and efficient.
