Too few global catalog servers in site

Indicates if the number of global catalog servers in a given site is less than or equal to the configured threshold.

Supported on: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022
Required permissions: Domain user privilege is required.

Each site in an Active Directory® enterprise should have at least one domain controller configured as a global catalog. The workstation login process always attempts to contact a global catalog server, and if none are running at the site where the workstation resides, the workstation will connect to a global catalog server outside of the site, which can cause excess WAN traffic and unnecessary delays in the login process.

 

Active Directory Topology

Topics:  

Viewing Active Directory forest topology

For a selected forest, you can view and customize a topology diagram, and quickly see a list of domain controllers with their roles.

Select Monitor | Active Directory Topology.

Every three hours, the Active Administrator® Foundation Service (AFS) server updates the topology data in the cache with the latest data from Active Directory® Service. If you want to update the forest topology data when you run the topology and update the domain controller list, select Update topology. Otherwise, if the check box is not selected, the forest topology data is loaded from the cache.
NOTE: If you typed a forest name that is not in the list of previously discovered forests or if the Update topology check box is selected, a pop-up message displays every 15 seconds while data is being collected by the computer running Active Administrator®. If the forest is large, there may be a delay loading the domain controller list.
To filter the list, start typing in the Search domain controllers box. The list filters as you type. To clear the filter, press Esc.
