If you have a single domain within a forest then it is recommeneded to have
all dc's gc's.

Hello,
Why not we place in seperate Domain naming master and Global Catalogue.
and Why we have to place the Domain naming master and Global catalogue in same forest(Multiple forest).


Already i read that document which u r mentioned the link.I need some clarification for this.........

I heard some questions from my collegues...Please.

Thanks
Basha

The link below will provide a much better understanding of the infratrusture
master, phantoms and the Global catalog.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248047

If the IM Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) role holder is also a
global catalog server, the phantom indexes are never created or updated on
that domain controller. (The FSMO is also known as the operations master.)
This behavior occurs because a global catalog server contains a partial
replica of every object in Active Directory. The IM does not store phantom
versions of the foreign objects because it already has a partial replica of
the object in the local global catalog.

For this process to work correctly in a multidomain environment, the
infrastructure FSMO role holder cannot be a global catalog server. Be aware
that the first domain in the forest holds all five FSMO roles and is also a
global catalog. Therefore, you must transfer either role to another computer
as soon as another domain controller is installed in the domain if you plan
to have multiple domains.

Hay!! are you talking about -
Why not we place in seperate Domain naming master and Global Catalogue.


you can place Domain naming master with GC .. not an issue .. But If you are planning to have Infrastructure master with GC .. Plz refer Paul and Meinolf experts comments
