Yes, this q may indicate my stupidity level at this time of night, so bear with me....
We have 5 Windows 2000 servers. 3 of them are Domain Controllers. Trying to figure out which one is the Global Catalog server. Can the GC ONLY be on a domain controller? Is there a setting I can look for, that would tell me that the GC is on 'X' server?
Unfortunately, the sys admin at the company doesn't remember which one its installed on. So is there a relatively easy way?
