Tony is saying this because GCs contain information about objects in other
domains. With only one domain, all DCs contain essentially the same
information as they would as GCs. But they do need to be marked as GCs for
E2K to use them because E2K will query DNS for a GC to compile the GAL. So
you need to worry about network topology. If you are crossing a WAN you may
want to mark the DC on the far side of the WAN as a GC, but if they are all
in a LAN environment, one might suit your needs just fine.

Subject: AD/GC Clarification
Do Win2k AD controllers need to be GCs for Exchange to use them in a single
domain environment? Tony Redmond's book says that all DCs in a single
domain environment are "effectively" GCs - but do they need to be made GCs
on the NTDS page for Exchange to use them? Thanks - I'm still getting up to
speed with Ex2k.
