RE: [ActiveDir] Global Catalogs and the Infrastructure Master

[Eric Fleischman]

From the MSFT side I can confirm that so long as all DCs in the domain in question are GCs the IM can safely reside upon a GC. We have many customers (some of the largest AD deployments in the world) where this is set with no issues.   ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Global Catalogs and the Infrastructure Master   yes, this causes no issues, as the GCs contain all the cross-domain links that the IM would update on DCs and thus the IM has absolutely nothing to do.  I've also only had good experiences with it.   /Guido   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donald Bauer Sent: Mittwoch, 31.
