The RUS, or lack thereof, is not involved with mail delivery.

The RUS wont run if it points to an invalid server. Not sure what you mean
by all communication.

Andy,

Thanks for reply. My concern is if such a thing happens and RUS is not
updated manually, does that mean all communication is lost till then?
Thanks

If the Exch Server is on a DC, then Exch services such as DsAccess, DSPproxy
and such will not fail over and will only point to itself.
RUS will have to be manually changed to valid DC.

http://www.MSExchange.org/ Good morning everyone,
 
Would someone clarify this for me? There are 2 domain controllers both 2003
sp1 and exchange 2003 sp1 is installed on secondary. Both as global catalog
servers. Exchange is pointing to primary for RUS. If first one fails, does
exchange automatically switch to second one which is running exchange? What
is the time period for it?
 
Appreciated
