I am sure that there is something behind this question.
If the box does not exist then you clearly can not make it a Global Catalog
Server. Now, the box probably does not exist because it is not a Domain
Controller. All Global Catalog Servers are Domain Controllers but not all
Domain Controllers are Global Catalog Servers.
Does this help?
