Ok it sounds like you left a DC in each domain as a non-GC simply to hold the infrastructure master roles. If that is the case, yes, promote all DCs to GCs. ------------- http://www.joeware.net <http://www.joeware.net/> (download joeware) http://www.cafeshops.com/joewarenet (wear joeware)
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cody Fleming Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Global Catalogs and the Infrastructure Master Hello, I have multiple AD domains and I currently have all DC's in my domains configured as Global Catalogs except for 1 in Each domain and it holds the Infrastructure Master role. I am considering making these servers a GC as well. Can anyone give me some feedback on if this would be good/bad or issues that may be caused by doing this? Anyone have experience running with All GC's? The reason I'm considering this is that the site where this DC lives currently has multiple DC's but the one configured as the GC is being removed from this site leaving no GC coverage. I'm not concerned with bandwidth or additional replication traffic needed for the GC. I have read this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/help/default.asp?url=/windows 2000/en/server/help/sag_ADgcInfFSMO.htm Thank you, Cody
