Quickest way will be to use nslookup:

nslookup -q=SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs. - for DCs
nslookup -q=SRV _ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs. - for GCs

Note instead of repadmin /options *, look for GC flag, you can run

repadmin /viewlist gc:

Gives only all GCs in your forest ... something I thought would probably
be useless when I implemented it.

If You have a forest with multiple domain be sure that You are making a
right query about GCs because server which acts as a GC is registering
itself in the forest _msdcs zone.

So here is a twist (for which I can take
no credit)¦If you have the Microsoft Shell (Monad) installed¦.

(Can be installed on a workstation - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ec1d82d9-0aff-451a-88b4-41db70e04f19&displaylang=en)



To get the GCs in the forest, issue the
following two commands in the Microsoft Shell:



$MyForest =
[System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::getcurrentForest()

$MyForest.GlobalCatalogs



The result is something like:

I am a fan of DS* commands...so

To find all DCs in forest
dsquery server -forest -o rdn

To find all GC in forest
dsquery server -forest -isgc -o rdn
