I have to agree with Demetris. 1: There's no indication what site(s) or site links apply to DC1 & DC2. 2: We don't know if the subnet(s) DC1 & DC2 are on are /16 CIDR or /24 like Servers 3 & 4. That piece of information is critical to determining whether DC1 & DC2 are on the same subnet or two different subnets. 3: The site creation & sitelink creation Powershell cmdlets shown only tell us the AD Sites & Services configuration of Server 3 & Server 4. We have no information on the site & link configurations of DC1 & DC2. The only option we have is to assume that both of the original DC's are in the Default First Site Name and on the Default First Site Link, but without verifying a /16 CIDR on their respective subnets, we're only guessing. Also, wouldn't Servers 3 & 4 be placed in the default first site & default first site link upon promotion? I can see that the cmdlets run place them in another link, but does it remove them from the default link? The question is very poorly stated and with insufficient information to really determine a definitive answer.
