I am way confused about the warnings. Can you give details?
Keep in mind that if you put Exchange on a GC, Exchange will only use that
GC for it's lookups. No other GC will be used, so no failover. If the GC
is not yet populated, then it may not work. Be interested in why yours
didn't work specifically, but I'm more interested why a second GC would
cause you an issue?!? I've setup many installations with countless GC's in
a domain without issue. I've also removed Active Directory from Exchange
servers (that's an upgrade path for Exchange 5.5 servers that are also
BDC's), so I'm unclear why the problem exists.

Hi Al
Thanks for that. I would really like to uninstall AD from the Exchange
Server but I have been told this is not an option with 2003 and was warned
by a member off PSS not do so as well. On the other hand if I just allow the
GC function on the Exchange box then as soon as I put in a second DC the
services will not start up correctly at start-up no matter how I move around
the Domain roles. Granted I did not try moving the Forest roles as well but
leaving the GC functionality on the Exchange box. I would like the option of
making the Exchange server an extra GC to the current one and leaving the
roles as they are but I can see my start-up problem coming back and have slo
been warned against two GC's in a single site. In addition I believe
Exchange will never look for another GC if it is on one itself already.
Granted I can see the logic in that but that does not resolve my start-up
issue. At present the server reboots cleanly and all seems fine. What are
the issues with not having the Exchange machine as a GC on a DC? The other
option of just one DC on the Exchange box is not a nice option for almost 25
users and several servers.
I am open to suggestions please. Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paul Lemonidis.

Adding to the number of RUS's is not a problem. In fact, in large
environments it's a way to make things faster and more predictable in terms
of updates. However, you really should not put Exchange on a DC if it's not
a GC. IIRC, this can be problematic to you in the way that Exchange finds
usable Active Directory pieces.
You can also just configure the RUS you already have to use a different DC
if you wanted to; by default it likely chose the one you are running on.

Hi All
A quick question please. I have a single Windows 2003\Exchange 2003 box that
is a Domain Controller. It holds none of the roles and neither is it a GC
any more. My question is about the RUS. I have had noticed on a number of
occasions that it is slow to update considering our GAL only has about 40+
entries. Are there any issues with adding extra RUS entries to the other two
DC's I have please?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paul Lemonidis.
