I have aquired a network which has 2 dcs in one domain.

One running exchange 2000 and one as a file print server.

Various repliation issues are arising and I have noticed
that all the master roles are on the exchange DC even
though they are both set up to replicate A/D with each
other.

The infrastructure master is on the same DC as the global
Catalog, which is fine in a single master domain, I
beleive the Global catalog should not be on the same
server as the Infrastructure master when you have a multi
master infrastructure.

The only problem I have is I wish to add another Global
catalog on to the file & print DC but the system partiton
in low on space 1GB at the moment. (due to be resolved)

Is this to litte space for me to add another Global
Catalog?

Thank You

Stan
 
If yours is a single domain, there shouldn't be any issue. It all depends on
how big your database is.
Take a look at the existing database file (ntds.dit) size under
"\winnt\ntds". You will need to take into additional consideration on the
traffic though, especially when you have an Exchange, which uses GC quite
heavily.
