Re: GC-Problems

I'm not sure I understand. I'd recommend you have one GC per site. You
mention that you don't have GC's there because of bandwidth considerations,
but you'd want a GC in those sites anyway. This should not increase network
utilization, it should decrease it because the GC is now on the local LAN
and you are only replicating delta changes to the catalog.

Hello everyone

I Have 5 Diferent Sites with 2 domain controllers in each site, exist one
different subnet per site, and five diferent Tree root Domains, one for
each site.

3 of the 5 sites have 1 Global Catalog the the other Two sites have have
Universal group membership enabled.
Now the problem is if Wan link is down, and I try to make searches on AD
to other different Domains or if a user from other domain tries to logon
on a machine the logon is denied... Isn't suppose the GC to have all
information about the forest and serve all queries an logon requests??

What about the 2 Sites that have only the Universal Group Membership
Enabled, if I need to make searches to that domain which site or global
catalog should i make sure that has Wan connection available?? (Remember
they don't have any GC, THEY ONLY HAVE Group Membership Enabled, because
the Wan links are very slow).

Some help would be very appreciated.
Regards
