I think I did it that way and it it caused some issues for our environment. I think there is a specific way you need to remove the Exchange 5.5 from the email system. If you don't follow that procedure you run the risk of exchange 2003 thinking exchange 5.5 still exists or something like that. Go to the Microsoft web site and search for directions on removing the last 5.5 exchange server from your environment. I didn't do it correctly and I had to go in and edit the Active Directory to get rid of the last remnant of Exchange 5.5. I think I had to remove the SiteFolderServer from AD. I got the hint of that from this list in January. I used the Microsoft Exchange Server Analyzer Tool and found out that the siteFolderServer was still set as the server I had deleted.
