Q: What's the Active Directory (AD) Global Catalog (GC)-less logon feature? When can I use it and how do I configure it?

摘要

A: GC-less login is related to the universal group membership caching feature that Microsoft introduced in Windows Server 2003. It lets Windows 2003 and later domain controllers (DCs) cache a user's universal group memberships. To do so, it uses the msDS-Cached-Membership attribute of the user's AD user object.
