About this document
Understanding Global Catalog in AD by Debashish Roy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The global catalog stores a full copy of objects in its domain and partial copies of objects in other domains. It provides efficient searches across domains without unnecessary referrals. The global catalog resolves user principal names when the authenticating domain controller does not have knowledge of the account. Replication ensures users have fast access to information about every object in the forest.
