Thanks Jose. Should I just use the exchange task in Active Directory to move my mail boxes?

If so please see article 822945. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822945 Howevver in my opinion I would just add the Exchange 2003 server with the new server name. Once it is up and running make sure you back up the database of the server you want to replace before moving mailboxes. Move your mail boxes to the new server ( Off hours ) or by notifying each user one by one as you are doing this ( Make sure that they are closed out of their Outlook session ), once the mailbox is moved when they reconnect their local Mapi profile will automatically be redirected to the server that their mailbox resides on. Once you completed your migration ( don't forget the public folders ) then it is a simple matter to remove the previous Exchange 2000 server. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307917 Good Luck and I hope that it is problem free for you.

We are going to replace that server with a new server running Exchange 2003. What is the best way to do this? Can I move my mailboxes over to another server and then replace the old with the new server and move them back? Please help.
