Difference between a DC and a GC 1

Guys,

This has been bugging me for ages - whats the difference between a global catalogue and a domain controller?

Thanks,


Steve.

Thanks Pat.

Thought as much, but didn't know if there was anything more to it than just keeping a replica of the whole forest directory object (albeit limited attributes)

Thanks again.


Steve.
