A little info first. I have a DC that I'm going to demote to a file server.
I'm going to leave DNS and DHCP on it.

Donna,
one way to determine this is to check the status of Global Catalog checkbox
in the NTDS Settings Properties dialog box in the Active Directory Sites and
Services (under Sites->Your_site_name->Servers->DC_name).
As far as the demotion - there are additional factors to consider. How many
DCs do you have in the same site/domain? How many of them are functioning as
GCs? Do you use Exchange? Is your DNS AD integrated?

Do you have also other DC's? Then you have first make another DC global catalog
server. Also i would leave the DNS role on a Domain controller with Active
directory integrated zones.

REPADMIN /OPTIONS <DC>
if it shows IS_GC then it is a GC.
to make it a GC : REPADMIN /OPTIONS <DC> +IS_GC
to remove the GC role REPADMIN /OPTIONS <DC> -IS_GC
