IIRC You're looking for the isGlobalCatalogReady attribute.  If set to true, then it's a global catalog.  If not, then it's just a DC.

Subject: [ActiveDir] finding GCs

Our developers put together a web site on our intranet last year that allows privileged users to add members of their staff to various groups. It works great, except that now we are in native mode and are using some universal groups. The app will work properly as long as it happens to hit a DC that is also a GC. But from what they're telling me, it won't work for Universals if the app searches for a DC and finds one that does not happen to be a GC.

 

So what I'm looking for, is whether there is a LDAP query component that they can use in their app that will always only find DCs that are also GCs?

 

Thanks,
