Hi, currently we have 13 sites, each site with a domain controller. There is
only one GC server.
Would it be recommended to create more GC in our domain? Is it a safe
process?

thx jason

Yes.

Yes.

You should have (at least) a GC per site.

With a single domain forest you can have
every DC be a GC safely.

(You can also do this in some multi-domain
forests, but not always for very large forests.)
