This is the ADM I created.
It will "tattoo" the registry though, but I don't think there's a way
around that.
Hope this helps. It also allows you to choose a specific server if
required instead.
Use one setting or the other, not both!

ForceGC_Explain="Force Outlook to choose a local GC instead of using a
remote one\n\nIf a user has a mailbox on an Exchange server in a remote
site, Outlook will try to use a Global Catalog in the remote site
instead of the local one. Usually this would make sense in case the
local machine was in a different domain or forest to the mailbox, but
all our users are in the same domain. Forcing Outlook to use a local GC
should make Outlook more efficient and use less bandwidth to the remote
site.\n\nNote: Only use the 'Closest GC' option, OR specify a server,
NOT BOTH."
