The plain and simple is this...

If you have a single domain it doesn't matter.

If all of your DCs in a domain are GCs it doesn't matter.

If you have some DCs and some GCs in a domain and there are multiple
domains then it matters.

To read in depth info on this, please check out some well written articles
on the topic by a good friend of mine, Dean Wells

G'day
I'm in the process of upgrading 2000 to 2003 and part of getting rid of
the old servers is to transfer the
Oerations Master Roles. The documentation from Microsoft says "the
infrastructure master for each domain must not host the global catalog."
but not why. Can anyone tell me why this would be a problem or is it only
a performance
issue for larger networks. In the old W2K domain both head office DC's
were GCs and one of those
was the Schema Owner, Doman role owner, PDC role, Rid Manager and
Infrastructure owner.
Looking forward to a reply
Mark
