In a word: no. Exchange requires a GC. If it can't find one, it'll basically hang.

What I want to know is, once replication of AD data is completed...can the Exchange server communicate w/ the new DC if I shutdown the original without transferring any of the AD roles or making the new DC a Global Catalog server....
