Not sure if its been removed outright or move to a different log file, but you can check if its a GC using powershell:<br />
<br />
PS C:&gt; (get-addomaincontroller).I<wbr />sGlobalCat<wbr />alog<br />
True<br />
<br />
Granted, this is simply a bit on the object and doesnt reflect whether the catalog is built and responsive, but you can test that using ldp against the GC port 3268. &nbsp;Just connect with ldp on that GC/port and you should be able to crawl the DIT

Event 1119 is still available.. Are you checking in &nbsp;<b>Applications and Services Logs &gt;&nbsp;Directory Service</b><br />

Yes im checking that log.<br />
<br />
And there are no erros... Also no erros with dcdiag
</div>


<div>
Hmm, since it's not giving any error in dcdiag, there are chances the event might have overwritten. &nbsp;Do you have the events there in logs prior to time of the GC promotion?<br />
<br />
<br />
If the Global Catalog box is selected in NTDS Settings object properties then you are good unless you are experiencing any specific issues.<br />
<br />
Also as mentioned above Check if it's showing IsGlobalCatalog is True<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41780154-1"><span>Get-ADDomainController -Filter * | select name,IsGlobalCatalog</span>
</code></pre>

Thats going to show GC status for all servers in the domain. &nbsp;But that may be useful to him as well.
</div>


<div>
Result of the ps-commands are &quot;true&quot;.<br />
<br />
Also when i check unter H_KEY_LOCAL_Machine\system<wbr />\currentco<wbr />ntrolset\s<wbr />ervices\nt<wbr />ds\paramet<wbr />ers the entry &quot;global catalog promotion complete&quot; is 0x0000001.<br />
<br />
I think from AD site is all ok. Just wondering about the event. And that on 4 DC´s
</div>


<div>
If you can't find the events prior to time of the GC promotion then event might have overwritten. I cannot think of any other possible reasons for missing the event.
</div>


<div>
i have changed the eventlog properties that it cant be overwritten.<br />
No success. Still no eventlog 1119 or other gobal catalog events.
</div>


<div>
i have promoted a new DC of course...and changed the log size bevor promotion
</div>


<div>
I've found the problem...i had just 1 domain. After adding a second domain the event is logged
</div>


<div>
Yes, i think so, too. Nice to know
</div>

On all my DC´s with Windows Server 2012 R2 i dont get the Event 1119 &quot;this DC is now a global catalog&quot; in the directory service log.<br />
<br />
With 2008 R2 i always checked after promotion if that event is logged. Is that removed in 2012 R2?
