Im looking to get a list of GC servers in my domain. Could you help me where I can lookup?
 
use active directory replication monitor from the support tools. add any server, then right click and choose to show enterprise global catalog servers...

thnx for ur quick reply. I'm able to get the list. however, the list i pulled is for entire enterprise. I want to get the list just for the domain we are in. If there is any script we can run to this list within domain.
thnx
 
Hi prefer to query a DNS server with Active Directory integrated zone using nslookup like:
c:\>nslookup
>set type=all
>_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.mydomain.com
Server: server1.mydomain.com
Address: 10.0.0.1

_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.com SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 100
port = 389
svr hostname = server1.mydomain.com
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.com SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 100
port = 389
svr hostname = server2.mydomain.com
server1.mydomain.com internet address = 10.0.0.1
server2.mydomain.com internet address = 10.0.0.2

You can also go in AD Sites and Services and check the domain Controllers one by one
