Hi John,
Since I'm familiar with NT 4.0, my thought process is a bit "biased" along
those lines.
Yes, I agree.... the biggest challenge is that Exchange is on the Domain
Controller. Ouch!
Any ideas??? I'm a little out of my element with Windows 2000 and Active
Directory.
As far as the hardware is concerned, I don't have all the specs yet. In
terms of Ghosting, I don't think that is such a great idea due to hardware
changes.
Do you have any other recommendations?
Much appreciated.
--Jason

Your list has elements of NT 4.0 domain and is incorrect.
Your biggest challenge is that Exchange is on the DC.
As for ghosting, some questions first:
What flavor of drives in both boxes and is RAID involved, either software or
hardware?
