Re: Does windows xp use a gc in native mode?

Hi

I was always under the impression that when you switched from 2003 mixed to
2003 native mode, it strictly used a GC for authentication for a domain.
That's correct if you have more than one domain.

But
when I have a user with Windows XP sp1 connecting to a windows 2003 native
domain and i run the set command it comes up with the infrastrucuture
master
that is not a GC.
So what's the problem? The user uses that DC for authentication, and that DC
checks UGM with an available GC.

investigate this further to see what is causing this. Thanks
