The infrastructure master is responsible for updating
cross-domain references, and it doesn't work if running on a GC. In a single
domain environment, the infrastructure master doesn't do anything, so it doesn't
matter which DC you give the role to.
If there is even a small chance you will add a domain in
the future, then you should not put the infrastructure master on a GC. You'll
almost certainly forget to move it when you add the new domain
:)

Subject: [ActiveDir] TR : Golbal catalog & Infrasctucutre Master.
Hello :-)
Just a question concernng the placement of
the global catalog (GC) and the Infrastructure Master (IM) on a
DC.
Microsoft said not to place the IM on a DC
that is already a GC...
Why? and should it be true for an
AD 2003 forest with only one domain ?
Regards,
Yann
