The exception is if *all* the DCs are GCs, even in the case of a multi-domain forest, the IM can be on any of them.

Good for exchange but one of the FSMO roles (the Infrastructure Master) does not want to be on a GC. It doesn't update if it is run on a GC. Not sure if this applies in a single domain too. Q1971322: NOTE: The Infrastructure Master (IM) role should be held by a domain controller that is not a Global Catalog server(GC). If the Infrastructure Master runs on a Global Catalog server it will stop updating object information because it does not contain any references to objects that it does not hold. This is because a Global Catalog server holds a partial replica of every object in the forest. As a result, cross-domain object references in that domain will not be updated and a warning to that effect will be logged on that DC's event log.

Right now there are two RUS, one is the enterprise point to DC1 and one is the organization also point to DC1. Technically, I can create another RUS and point it to DC2 so the GAL gets update as well , but I read somewhere that all I have to do is change the Enterprise RUS to DC1 and the Org RUS to DC2. Is that true?
