Global Catalog Message

[Guest]

Hi everybody,

When a try open a group to add user, I recieve a message below:

"A GC cannot be located to retrieve the icons formembers list."

I add user without problem.

Any clue

Thanks

Diogo

most probably because a Global Catalog server can not be located. Check if
you have conectivity with at least one GC server and take a look at event
logs for errors related to this issue.

If you have a SINGLE DOMAIN Forest then you can just make
every DC a GC. (Perhaps even if you have a SMALL forest
with a multiple domains but that takes more careful thought.)

Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain.

If you don't have the tools installed, install them from your server install
disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Run dcdiag and netdiag in verbose mode.

If you download a gui script I wrote it should be simple to set and run. It
also has the option to run individual tests without having to learn all the
switch options. The details will be output in notepad text files that pop
up automagically.

The script is located in the download section on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com

Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the
default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)

When complete search for fail, error and warning messages.



You could also run a GC check, written by Joe Richards
