Test-MtAdDcNonGlobalCatalogCount

SYNOPSIS​

Counts domain controllers that are not configured as Global Catalogs.

SYNTAX​

Test-MtAdDcNonGlobalCatalogCount [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

This test identifies domain controllers that are not serving as Global Catalogs. Global Catalogs maintain a partial replica of all objects in the forest, enabling forest-wide searches and authentication for users from other domains. In a single-domain environment, all DCs should be GCs. In multi-domain forests, proper GC placement is critical for authentication and directory searches.
