I know what is Gelobal catalog but i don`t know which of operations masters manage it (schema master or Domain naming or . . . ) ?

[nmX.Memnoch]

A domain controller doesn't have to have any of the Operations Master roles to have a Global Catalog. That's why they are listed seperately.

Any DC can have a copy of the GC (it's generally recommended to have at least one per site, but research the bandwidth issues before implementing that recommendation because it will increase the amount of traffic between locations).

hi the link that i gave you covers all your questions.just need to have the patience to read through the mammoth but very comprehensive document.

Global Catalog doesn't manage by any Operation Master Role. It is manage by itself.

By default first DC designated as a Global Catalog server and you can remove this if you want.

Global Catalog contain the writable replica of its own Domain and readable replica of domains in Forest.

Please let me know if i am wrong .. But this is what Global Catalog is.
