In what edition you have created this master page? I mean 2007 or 2010?– Zakir HCOct 8, 2012 at 12:58

1Is this for publishing sites? We only use Team sites, how do I manage ensuring that all subsites utilize our custom master page?– user14047Jan 10, 2013 at 17:34

You can turn on the Publishing feature for the Root site and in the Site Action -> Site Settings -> Master Pages you will see a screen like below:
Here you can specify to inherit the root-site master page for sub-sites!
Also, if its just a CSS that you have used - at the bottom you can see an option to Specify a CSS to be used by this publishing site and its sub-sites!

Hope this helps

Thanks the odd thing is my sub site does not give me the option to pick "Master page" under the Look and Feel section. I only have Title,description,and icon -- Tree view -- Site theme --Navigation.– JjpOct 8, 2012 at 13:34

1Never mind I see I was to check the box at the bottom. All works great. Thanks.– JjpOct 8, 2012 at 13:45

As Arsalan said, you need to activate the publishing feature for the link to the master page to show. Oct 8, 2012 at 13:48
