On the domain controller start the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in. To start the snap-in, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Sites and Services. In the console tree, double-click Sites, and then double-click sitename. Double-click Servers, click your domain controller, right-click NTDS Settings, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click to verify the Global catalog is marked if not please check the mark.
if yes then run dcdiag and provide os with the result, to do that
Start, Run, cmd + enter, type dcdiag + enter.
Verify global catalog DNS registrations:
Open the DNS snap-in and connect to a domain controller in the forest root domain.
Expand Forward Lookup Zones and then expand the forest root domain.
Click the _tcp container.
In the details pane, look in the Name column for _gc and in the Data column for the name of the server. The records that begin with _gc are global catalog SRV records.
its mark checked
in dns _gc and at the Data the domain controller is there
i was not able to dcdiag because:
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dcdi
'dcdiag' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
you need to run dcdiag on your dc with domain admins or enterprise admins membership, download from here
Just make sure GC is checked on properties of NTDS settings in AD site & services. Even though it is checked just uncheck and again check the tick.
Wait for a minute or two you should see an information event which says GC is now available.
Try telneting the port to localhost 3268. In DNS mgmt. make sure GC entry exsits with port no.
Thats all i believe nothing much troubleshooting required under 1 DC scenario. Hope this resolves the issues.

All this seems fine right?
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sc query ntds
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:Op
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
I got this error above
restart it then verify
after you restart the service start a command and type the following
nltest /dsgetdc:domainName /gc, and then press ENTER
If the domain controller is able to contact the global catalog, the command output indicates the name of a domain controller that is configured as the global catalog server.
then the problem is fixed!

The following Microsoft Technet article will provide you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps to resolve the event. When I've had these issues in the past, there was an issue with the DNS server - typically it wasn't available due to the system reporting the issue.

Hope this helps... good luck!
