I am sorry for making more confusion.  What I want to accomplish is move
exchange to newly bought server and remove it from the old one (running
windows 2000 and Exchange 2000)...and thanks John for explaining I have
read it...and you are right about DNS and AD.

Any Idea on that...Hope I have simplified it.... 

 

But would not my AD on Windows 2003, because I have join with windows
2000 AD as a Domain Controller?  

Any Idea on that...Hope I have simplified it.... 

 

After I accomplish the above one...Oh Yeah I can run inplace upgrade on
windows 2000 to windows 2003.  Am I right or wrong?????

I think if you read your idea, you will see a major flaw there:

 

You say you currently have one single server running AD, DNS, IIS,
Exchange and Veritas.

 

Then you are going to bring up a new server, join it to the existing
domain, install Exchange 2003 on it and migrate users to it.

 

Then you are going to 86 and rebuild your one existing server.

 

Uh, what is going to be your AD and DNS server? (And please do not say
the new server. You want to make things simpler, not more complex.)

Hi to All,

  Here is my story - My Company bought new hardware and they want to
move current exchange 2000 to new hardware.  Currently, we are running
one server with AD, DNS, IIS, Exchange and Veritas backup 9.

  I am thinking as following.  

     (1) Installed Windows 2003 and Join the current domain

     (2) Apply all the service pack and patches to new Windows 2003

     (3) Installed exchange 2003 in existing Exchange 2000 organization

     (4) Apply latest service pack to Exchange 2003

     (5) Create New Storage on this new server

     (6) Move Mail box to new storage

     (7) Let all the users log in and update there profiles

     (8) Change my MX record to point to new server

     (9) Remove my old server and reinstall windows 2003 on it and move
my IIS and DNS on that server

Any Pitfall in the above procedure guys and girls?  

Any suggestion or advice will be greatly appreciated

 

Sunny(Shyamal)
