Ok i was thinking that you're going to keep your old server.
Here are some step
First install your new 2003 server, join in to the domain, and setup as a 
second domain controller. (you had to make a domainprep and forestprep due to 
windows 2003 based domain controller)
setting dns into the new server, the zone is going to replicate automatically 
(check).
If you've got DHCP server modify option as well
Transfer all FMSO role into the new server, set it as the catalog global
Check if everything is working fine, look to event viewer.
After all is going fine, follow steps that i provided on my next email for 
exchange.
You run both server, and make sure that everything is OK. 
Just try to shut down the old before recycle it.

Here is just steps, for each make some search and be sure what you're doing.
That's right, "you must plan and carefully"

  Exchange is highly integrated with Active Directory. As such, when you make 
any changes to your Exchange structure or Active Directory structure, you must 
plan well and carefully.



  You are changed both Exchange and Active Directory, so you must take triple 
care to do it correctly. 



  I have to run, but you really need to spend time doing more research and 
thinking this through. What you are planning is going to lead to problems.

  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)
