- Global Catalog
- Posted by news.microsoft.com on March 3rd, 2004
If global catalog is down will my users be able to login to the domain if :
1) I have single domain and have N additional domain controllers for that
domain
2) If I am haviong multiple domains
taking into consideration mixed mode and Native Windows 2003 mode.

No in both cases. A Global Catalogue server is required to process Universal
Group membership before logon can complete. Domain Admins do not require a
GC to log on and there is a registry change to make that can allow users to
bypass this requirement as well but the best solution is simply to create
more than one GC for redundancy.

In a single domain, make all DCs a GC.

If your domain is in mixed mode, a user will be able to logon to that domain
with no GC present.
If your domain is in native mode, your user will not be able to logon if
there is no GC present - unless you modify the behaviour of the client or if
your server is 2003 and you enable GC Caching.

how do you enable GC caching? Or is that universal membership caching at the
site level
