RUS |
|
|
In my company, there will be 4 unit of exchange server 2003 with SP1 in 3
separate AD domains. Domain A, B and C. Out of 4 exchange servers, 2 will be
located in domain C but in 2 separate physical locations namely site X and
site Y. The 2 sites are interconnected via a 512k WAN connection. Assuming
that I associate the RUS with 2 DCs in Site X and with another 2 DCs in Site
Y, here are my questions (note that all RUS association is done from an
exchange server in Site X only):
1. How the RUS publish the GAL when there are many DCs associated with the
component? will RUS component publish the GAL to all the associated DCs at
the same time? basically, how does this RUS works in publishing GAL to GCs?
2. If the exchange server which I associated the RUS with goes down for few
days, will GAL can still be generated maybe by the exchange server in Site
Y?
I really hope that some experts can help me answering the questions. We are
in the middle of designing RUS component placement.
thanks in advanced.

Re: RUS |

I think I know what you're asking...
How does RUS work? Take a look at the docs that fully explain this at
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library but basically you'll need a RUS
defined for each domain where user accounts will be mailbox-enabled. That
can be on one server or many, it's your choice.
If the server with the RUS functionality is off-line for several days, then
you won't get RUS functionality. Therefore, do your best to have a plan in
place for that eventuality. Maybe create a new one? Or maybe don't make
changes until it comes back online? Whatever works best for you. Oh, and
remember you may not want the OAB on the same server as the RUS if this is a
concern. Or maybe you do ;)

Re: RUS |

Al,
thanks for your response...
Can i understand your answer as the following? Under domain C, I should
create RUS functionality at both exchange servers (Site X and Site Y) in
domain C and associate each RUS server with more than 1 local DC. For
example, RUS server in China will associate itself with DCs in China and the
RUS server in Singapore will associate with DCs in Singapore. if one of the
exchange server goes offline in domain C for serveral days, RUS
functionality will still be around to create/update or maintain address
lists. am I correct?
thanks

Re: RUS |

I suppose you could do it that way. There are guidelines for using multiple
RUS services in the same domain however. You may need to contact your local
Microsoft support for that information. I would point you to docs for it,
but I haven't seen any floating around.
I have seen organizations that use a similar setup however. Not for
redundancy so much but for performance reasons.
Basically, you just need at least one RUS running per domain. It can be
running on the same server in one domain for all of them or separated out,
but an instance needs to be defined for each domain. At least one instance
in this case.
