Hi Guys

we are running Win 2000 Domain with Exchange 2000. We also have Solaris
box with Sendmail
that forwards incoming emails to Exchange [using .forward file].

We are planning to install Exch 2003 on Win Srv 2003 machine and to move
users from Exch 2000.
The upgrade is not possible as Exch 2000 is on the machine that is running
out of space.

New machine will be purchase with enough space to act as stand alone
server with Exch 2003.

What will be correct way of archiving our goal?

-Installing Exch 2003 on new machine and moving mailboxes from Exch 2000.
This sounds too simple to be true.
My concern is coexistence of Exchange 2000 and 2003 is same domain.

Is there anything we need to pay special attention?

Thank you very much?

- Exchange 2000 & 2003 will happily co-exist for as long as you want
- Yes, it is as simple as moving mailboxes, replicating public folders
- If you're planning to remove the old Exchange 2000 server, make sure you
follow kba 307917
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307917
- Shut down the old server for a couple of day, if all looks good (things to
check: mail flow, free/busy info when scheduling meetings, offline address
book downloads), uninstall Exchange from the old server

First of all you need to upgrade the Exchange Organization to Exchange 2003
by extending the AD Schema with the new Exchange Server attributes and
objects, and inorder to do that you need to run /Forestprep and /Domainprep,
please go to exchange server 2003 deployment guide - online help under
microsoft.com/exchange site, and read the chapter related to upgrade from
exchange 2000 to exchange server 2003, and to help you more, here is the
link to this chapter :):)
