Note that during this operation, no one could connect to their mailboxes ;-). So do it out of business. If You had one machine for AD 2k3 AND one machine for your e2k3, and for hardware failure you need to change your e2k3 to a new machine with the same name, then there is a particular procedure you have to follow such as reset e2k3 old machine, and do a /disasterrecovery on the new e2k3 machine. But in your case, e2k3 and AD is on the same machine, do do a simple uninstall of you exchange.
