  Hi Shoeb,
  Are you planning to add the Exchange 2003 server to your existing Exchange 
2000 organization an upgrade? If so, you can simply start moving mailboxes 
using ADUC. If you are planning to build a fresh Exchange 2003 server and 
organization, and want to restore the Mailbox store from a tape backup, you can 
still do it, but you need to make some changes to your Exchange organization 
schema first. And Microsoft does not recommend doing these changes in a 
production server, and are recommended only for a restore server or lab server. 
Once you get the new Exchange 2003 sever installed in a new organization, you 
need to rename the Administrative Group name to match the original 
Administrative Group name from the previous server. Secondly, your organization 
name has to match. And third, the legacyDN attribute of your new Exchange 2003 
organization has to be identical to the previous Exchange organization. So, if 
you don't have these attribute values handy, then you cannot restore the 
database. You can download the utility called legacydn.exe from Microsoft, and 
use that tool to rename these attributes in your new Organization. This tool 
should also be found in the Exchange media CD, and Service pack downloads. 
Remember, these changes are recommended only in lab environment. If you plan to 
do this for a production environment, the best thing to do will be to build a 
separate restore server, in a separate AD environment, and restore the database 
there, and then use Exmerge to move the mailboxes using PST files to the new 
server.

  HTH.
