Relation of Global Address List to Active Directory
I am having a hard time figuring out what the Global Address List (GAL) really does for me. What is GAL? Where does it come from? Is it stored in the NTDS.DIT and is formed by a running memory process somehow? I find all kinds of references for understanding the Global Catalog but nothing directly for GAL. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
thanks

I would imagine (and I'm not 100% sure) that it's pulled from the index of priv.edb.
