1. move the infrastructure role by rightclicking "active directory users and computers" in the left pane in the active directory users and computers MMC, and choose operations masters. then select the infrastructure tab. 2. add a GC in the active directory sites and services MMC, find the server you want to add, expand it, right click NTDS settings, and there you can define it to be a GC. you can also seize a fsmo role, but that is another topic, let me know if you need info on this.

I want to move the infrastructure master role away from the global catalog, as we have recently become a mulit-domain active directory, and it's complaining. I've not had much luck finding information on how to do this. While on the subject of global catalogs, how do you make another server become a global catalog server in addition to the current global catalog(s)? -- Neil Bullock, ICT Technician.
