A site provides a method of representing and managing logical groupings of Provisioning Servers, Device Collections, and local shared storage. A site administrator can perform any task that a device administrator or device operator within the same farm can perform.

A site administrator can also perform the following tasks:

Farm-level tasks

Managing Site Properties, as described in this document
Managing Stores

Some site-level tasks include:

Defining Device administrator and device operator roles.
Managing Provisioning Servers
Managing connections
Creating a New Site in a Farm, as described in this document
Rebalancing Devices on the Provisioning Server
Importing Target Devices into Collections
Accessing auditing information

To create a site

Right-click on the sites folder in the farm where you want to add the new site. The Site Properties dialog appears.
On the General tab, type the name and a description for the site in the appropriate text boxes.
On the Security tab, click Add to add security groups that have the site administrator rights in this site. The Add Security Group dialog appears.
Check the box next to each group, then click OK. Optionally, check the Domains/group Name checkbox to select all groups in the list.
On the Options tab, if new target devices are to be added using the Auto-Add feature, select the collection where these target devices should reside (this feature must first be enabled in the farm’s properties).

To modify an existing site’s properties, right-click on the site in the Console, then select Properties. Make any necessary modifications in the Site Properties dialog. The tabs in this dialog allow you to configure a site. Site administrators can also edit the properties of a site that they administer.
