    Hi @Anant Bera

    You should check if each subnet created in Sites and Service active directory are assigned to the closest site.

    Check if all subnets assigned to new site have all required network ports opened with this domain controller.

    Check also if the new site has a site link in order to replicate with another domain controller.
