I suppose no! You should use one GC at each site.

I'm in a multi-domain environment and I want to know if Universal Group
caching will help my remote site users logon faster even if this forest
doesn't use Universal Groups. This is a parent / child forest that spans
fast and slow links with DCs deployed in the slow links but no GC enabled.

Thank you,

Juan

I would say yes. Universal Group Membership Caching in Windows 2003 is
designed for use in sites with slow links that have a DC but no GC because
perhaps the link cannot handle GC replication traffic. In this case, the
fact that Universal Groups are not used is irrelevant because Windows still
has to check for them even if you know they are not in use. Users at those
slow sites still need to contact a GC during the logon process and with no
GC at a site that means using the slow WAN link. Sounds to me like this is
the ideal scenario for using UGMC instead of having a GC at each site.
