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.
