The infrastructure masters job is to compare objects of the local domain against objects in other domains of the same forest. If the server holding the infrastructure master is also a global catalog it won't ever see any differences, since the global catalog holds a partitial copy of every object in the forest itself. Therefore the
infrastructure master won't do anything in its domain. However if every DC in the Domain is also global catalog server there's no job for the IM since the GC already knows about the objects of other domains. So if
you look at the job the IM has to do, it's pretty clear that it may reside on a GC if it's a single domain forest (no need to pull updates from other domains). It's also pretty clear that it may reside on a GC if it's in a multiple domain forest but every DC in the domain where the IM runs on the GC are also GCs (no need to pull updates since the GC knows everything).

What happens if GC and infrastructure master are on same DC in active directory?
If you only have one domain in your forest, nothing will be wrong. If you do however have multiple domains in you forest, and you put your GC and infrastructure master on the same machine, things can go horribly wrong. This is because GC and Infrastructure Master use the same NTDS.dit file, changes will be changed by GC and Infrastructure Master checks the NTDS.dit and doesn't see any change, because GC already changed the NTDS.dit Only way you can run GC and infrastructure Master on the same machine in a multiple domain forest is to enable GC on all domain controllers... greets
What are the FSMO roles?
FSMO stands for the Flexible single Master Operation, there are 5 types of FSMO Schema Master Domain Naming Master Infrastructure Master Remote ID Master(RID) PDC Emulator Regards Anil Mahapatra
What FSMO should not be housed on a domain controller that has been configured as a global catalog?
infrastructure master
Which operations master role is responsible for ensuring that changes made to the object names in one domain are updated in references to these objects in other domains?
Infrastructure master
The Infrastructure Master FSMO role is responsible for reference updates from its domain objects to other domains?
true
What FSMO role should not be housed on a domain controller that has been configured as a global catalog?
infrastructure master
Why the global catalog server and infrastructure master not avail in the same domain controllers?
1. GC holds group membership of universal group. whileInfrastructure hold group information in domain level.2. We can't set infrastructure master and GC together on same DC.Ifinfrastructure master and GC is on the same server then infrastructure will not function because it will never find the data that is out of date.Syed Mukthar Ahammed.The Infrastructure Master (IM) role should be held by a domain controller that is not a Global Catalog server (GC). If the Infrastructure Master runs on a Global Catalog server it will stop updating object information because it does not contain any references to objects that it does not hold. This is because a Global Catalog server holds a partial replica of every object in the forest. As a result, cross-domain object references in that domain will not be updated and a warning to that effect will be logged on that DC's event log. If all the domain controllers in a domain also host the global catalog, all the domain controllers have the current data, and it is not important which domain controller holds the infrastructure master role.
When you are the administrator of an active directory forest that contains a forest root domain with three child domain how many of each FSMO does this forest contain?
1 Domain Naming Master, 1 Schema Master, 1 PDC Emulator, 1 Infrastructure Master, 1 RID Master
How many types of Domain controller?
The domain controller is only of one type but it can have different roles Domain Naming master RID master PDC Schema Master Infrastructure master Schema master (forest wide): The Schema Master controls all updates to the Schema within the forest. Domain Naming Master (forest wide): The Domain Naming Master role is responsible for the creation and deletion of domains in the forest. PDC Emulator (domain wide): The PDC emulator role provides backwards compatability for Windows NT backup domain controllers (BDCs), the PDC emulator advertises itself as the primary domain controller for the domain. It also acts as the domain master browser and maintains the latest password for all users within the domain. Infrastructure Master (domain wide): The Infrastructure Manager role is responsible for updating references from objects within its domain with objects in other domains. RID Master (domain wide): The RID Master manages the Security Identifier (SID) for every object within the
What is a domain FSMO user for?
In windows server 2000/2003 used single master replication to specify roles to domain or forest.This is called FSMO(Flexible Single Master Operation) roles or Master operation roles.It has classified in to five types schema master domain naming master. PDC emulator Relative identifier Infrastructure master. By Senthil
Explain at least two possible dangers of urban planning without the use of a master plan?
Urban planning without the use of a master plan leads to an increase in the cost of infrastructure. It also results in the mushrooming of slums and ghettos.
What FSMO roles is participating in replication?
There is no releation between FSMO roles and replication. However Infrastructure master role replicate the cross domain group membership changes.
