What is the RUS?..

RUS (Recipient Update Service) is responsible for making
updates to e-mail addresses, and it does this based on
recipient policy changes. These updates are made at a
specific interval that is defined for the service. You can
view the update interval and modify it as necessary by
completing the following steps:

Start System Manager, and then in the left pane (the
console tree), click the plus sign (+) next to the
Replication node. Then select Recipient Update Service.

You should now see the available Recipient Update Service
in the right pane. You will have an enterprise
configuration service and one or more additional services
for additional domains in the domain forest.

Right-click the service you want to work with, select
Properties, and then use the properties dialog box to view
the service's configuration settings.

Use Update interval to choose a new update interval. The
following options are available:
Always Run
Run Every Hour
Run Every 2 Hours
Run Every 4 Hours
Never Run
Use Custom Schedule

What is the RUS?..

Answer / raveesh katiyar

RUS works hand in hand with GAL (Global Address List).
Together they generate the list of addresses that users see
in Outlook. I think of Exchange 2003's RUS as a little
engine which runs an LDAP query, the results are to build
or update the Users' property sheets and the Address Lists.

Here is a list of the jobs that RUS performs:

Updates proxyAddresses attribute controlled by recipient
policies.
Initializes the homeMDB, homeMTA and msExchHomeServerName
attributes. Also the legacyExchangeDN and
msExchMailboxGUID if appropriate.
Sets the showInAddressBook (or hideDLMembership).
Sets the ACL on the Microsoft Exchange System Objects
(Check with ADSI Edit)
Populates the group called Exchange Enterprise Servers in
Active Directory.
