I am running 2003 server on all servers. At the data center I have two DCs that are Global Catalog servers to avoid the single point of failure as recommended. I also have 17 remote sites connected via 768 DSL or T1, each with a single DC. Should I have the DCs at the remote sites as Global Catalog servers too?
 
Yes. Doing so will allow the local users to find resources without having to reach out over the T1.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
