As the error says, verify the availability of the server hosting the Global Catalog (network, DNS, etc..) and if the Global Catalog is online. See Q256287 for more information.
Sometimes, certain applications may affect the functionality of the Global Catalog (Citrix, Surf Control, and others). As per Q318170, this problem may occur if you have a damaged object. Q313167 points to a connectivity problem between Exchange 2000 and the Global Catalog. As per Microsoft, this behavior can occur if you lock the system partition and remove the Everyone group from various locations. See Q305837 for more details and how to fix this.
