What is the primary purpose of Universal Group Membership Caching (UGMC) in an Active Directory site?
Answer Options
A
It caches DNS lookups for Universal Groups.
B
It eliminates the need to place a Global Catalog server in every site to facilitate user logons.
C
It synchronizes group memberships directly to Azure AD.
D
It prevents unauthorized users from changing group memberships.
Correct Answer
B: It eliminates the need to place a Global Catalog server in every site to facilitate user logons.

UGMC allows a domain controller to cache the universal group memberships of users. This eliminates the need for a Global Catalog server to be present in the site during user logon, which is particularly useful for branch offices with slow WAN links.
