Hi Yor Suiris,
Global Catalog and Infrastructure Master Role Conflict
===============================================
If the IM Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) role holder is also a
global catalog server, the phantom indexes are never created or updated on
that domain controller. This behavior occurs because a global catalog
server contains a partial replica of every object in Active Directory. The
IM does not store phantom versions of the foreign objects because it
already has a partial replica of the object in the local global catalog.
For this process to work properly in a multi-domain environment, the
infrastructure FSMO role holder cannot be a global catalog server. Note
that the first domain in the forest holds all five FSMO roles, and is also
a global catalog. Because of this, you must transfer either role to another
computer as soon as another domain controller is installed in the domain if
you plan to have multiple domains.
If the infrastructure FSMO role and global catalog role reside on the same
domain controller, you continually receive event ID 1419 in the directory
services event log. For additional information, click the article number

251095 Event ID 1419 Generated on a Domain Controller
================================================
SYMPTOMS
Event error 1419 may be generated on a domain controller. This event may be
generated because there may be problems with an Infrastructure Flexible
Single Master Operation (FSMO) role holder performing its duties if it is
also a global catalog server.
The error message in Event Viewer may be similar to the following sample:
Event ID: 1419 Event Type: Error
Event Source: NTDS General
Event Category: Directory Access
Event ID: 1419
Date: 1/16/2000
Time: 9:58:21 AM
User: Everyone
Computer: Server1
Description:
This DC is both a Global Catalog and the Infrastructure Update master.
These two roles are incompatible. If another machine exists in the domain,
it should be made the Infrastructure Update master. The machine CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=Server4,CN=Servers,CN=West,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=PRODOM,D
C=com is a good candidate for this role. If all domain controllers in this
domain are Global Catalogs, then there are no Infrastructure Update tasks
to complete, and this message may be ignored.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if a domain controller that resides in a
multiple-domain-controller domain in a multiple-domain forest holds the
Infrastructure FSMO role and is also a global catalog. The error message is
generated after another domain controller is installed in the domain. This
is most likely to occur on the first domain controller in the forest
because it holds all five FSMO roles and is also a global catalog server.
RESOLUTION
There are two ways to resolve this issue:
Transfer the Infrastructure FSMO role to another domain controller in the
domain.
Enable another domain controller in the forest to be the global catalog
server and disable this computer from being a global catalog server.
