| ### Configuring GDA Servers The DCE Global Directory Agent (GDA) facilitates communication between DCE cells. If your cell will engage in intercell communication, the GDA server must be running. This topic describes how to configure GDA servers. You can configure a GDA server only on a previously configured client or CDS server machine. You can configure GDA in a cell that uses either GDS or DNS as the global directory service. Although dce_config can configure GDA in a cell that uses GDS, you must use manual procedures to configure GDA in a cell that uses DNS. Both types of configuration are described in the following topics. More: Configuring GDA in a GDS Cell Configuring GDA in a DNS Cell ####
