Working on a design for a Windows 2008 domain. My question is in regards to DC/GC placement and use. Specifically if we decide to go with a single domain model, it's my understanding that all DCs can authenticate logon requests, GCs are not required for logon:
In a single-domain forest, all domain controllers act as "virtual global catalog servers" in that they can all respond to any authentication or service request. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737269.aspx If this is correct, I would assume that Universal Group Membership caching would not be needed either. Can anyone confirm/deny/elaborate on this?
