Re: Universal Group Membership Caching

Hi
A GC will still need to be contacted for logon to succeed (Native mode
assumed).

This isn't totally true.
Actually this is only true for Forests with multiple domains, but there are
other situations where it doesn't apply, for example: in a single domain
environment it doesn't apply.

Hi RC,
Universal Group Membership Caching is a function of the DCs in the site
you've enabled it on. If you have no DCs in the site, it will have no
effect if the users logon to DCs in other sites that do not have UGMC
enabled and have no local GCs. A GC will still need to be contacted for
logon to succeed (Native mode assumed).

Regards,

Austin

If you create a site, assign the appropriate subnets, but it doesn't
have a DC associated with the site and enable UGMC (universal group
membership caching) does UGMC still effectively do what it is designed
to do?

I would assume not unless you have a DC in that site right?

Thanks in advance.
