We have branch office where NT40 domain is installed. There is also Exchange
5.5 installed. I plan to create AD 2003 site in that office, which also
includes installing Exchange 2003 server(there exists two way trust between
AD domain and NT40 domain). I want all mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 to be
moved on that Exchange 2003 server. First I have to put DC in site (GC on it)
and move all users accounts on AD. Can I move mailboxes to Exchange 2003
without installing ADC in site (for example export from Exch5.5 and import to
Exch2003)?

When you install the first Exchange 2003 on an Enchange 5.5 Org, it will set
a new ADC agreement automatically.
But, as I'm never tired of saying, document yourself very well before doing
the migration. There's lots of good stuff on the internet:
