It depends! ;-) How many users do you have How many servers do you have How many sites do you have What kind of bandwidth do you have between sites
In our case we have 5 sites of which 3 have DC/GCs and one of those sites (datacenter where Exchange lives) has a redundant DC/GC. We have pretty good bandwidth and with only 240 users with about 100 in the main site replication isn’t an issue. YMMV John W.

Thank you , my misunderstanding on caching. Just so I'm clear this can be enabled on any DC, correct? Is there any reason to not have every DC also be a GC? -lc ________________________________ From: William Robbins <dangerw...@gmail.com<mailto:dangerw...@gmail.com>> To: NT System Admin Issues <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com<mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com>> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 1:37 PM Subject: Re: Domain local vs. global vs. universal Understanding group types: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755692(WS.10).aspx Understanding caching of universal groups: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff797984.aspx - Will [http://sale.images.woot.com/Air_Quothhs7Detail.png] On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 13:32, Lora Cates <lora.ca...@rocketmail.com<mailto:lora.ca...@rocketmail.com>> wrote: From my reading that's basically it.

Someplace I heard in AD pretty much every group you use should be domain local unless it’s used for Exchange in which case you use Universal. All groups I create are domain local and it simply works, but I know that doesn’t mean it’s right. Before sending a note to the SE team on this I wanted to get a consensus from you guys. Comments?
