Configuring Global Catalog Server

To configure Global Catalog Server on Active Directory server, a few schema attributes viz. InvocationID, subClassOf and systemAuxiliaryClass, need to be set using a custom console that contains the Schema snap-in.

If you are working on a new Active Directory setup, please note that this snap-in is part of the administrative tools but is not registered by default.

In case the snap-in is not registered, the following steps would register the Schema snap-in:

1.	Open a command console and navigate to C:\Windows\System32.

2.	Run regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll.

In order to make Schema management easier, create a custom Schema console for the registered Snap-in by following the steps below:

1.	From the Run window, type mmc and click the OK button. This opens an empty MMC console

2.	From the CONSOLE menu, select FILE > ADD/REMOVE SNAP-IN. The Add/Remove Snap-in window opens.

Figure 20 Add/Remove Snap-in

3.	Click the Add button. The Add Standalone Snap-in window opens

Figure 21 Add Standalone Snap-in

4.	Double-click the Active Directory Schema item and then click the Close button.

5.	Click the OK button to save the change and return to the MMC window. The Active Directory Schema tree will appear under the Console Root folder

6.	Save the file with a name like Schema.msc. The system will put the file in your personal profile. Save it to the \Windows\System32 folder if you want other administrators to use it.

To set the attribute values:

1.	From the Run window, type Schema.msc and click the OK button to open the Schema management console.

2.	Expand the Active Directory Schema node in the tree view to see the list of class objects and attributes.

3.	Right-click on the invocationId attribute and select the Properties item.

4.	Check the Replicate This Attribute On The Global Catalog checkbox to make this attribute visible to the Global Catalog server.

5.	Similarly make the subClassOf and systemAuxiliaryClass attributes visible to the Global Catalog server.
