i think you can do this  with two service templates .
define service{
             name     windows_site2_service
             use        generic_service
             contact_groups site2_admins
             register    0
}


define service{
             name     windows_site1_service
             use        generic_service
             contact_groups site1_admins
             register    0
}


and then you define the service once for each group using that template .
