Answer / manish
GC is like an index for all the DC's in a forest with all
the AD information(objects, attributes etc). It is used to
authenticate UPN based logon request and Universal group
membeship. The Infrastructure master (operation master) is
used to check for the updated AD information with other
DC's in the forest, for this it queries the Global catalog
which has all the updated (replicated)information. If GC is
installed on all the DC's then the AD updates is not
identified by the DC's Infrastucture master as GC and
Infrastructure master are in the same DC.
You can look at schema by MMC snap in tool which is
registered by start->run->regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll
