Hi Amy,
Microsoft recommends upgrading the FE servers first before upgrading the
BE server. However, I have not seen anything specific to whether to
upgrade the Bridge head first or mailbox server first. I would upgrade
the cluster after the FE upgrade, and then continue with the bridge
head. Refer the following links which will be useful.

Hello all,
Planning for and intraorg upgrade. We be using new hardware a couple of
the servers and re-using the hardware on the others.
After running ForestPrep and DomainPrep, I have to figure out my next
step. I read where it said to upgrade Front end servers first. Now, the
question is... Does this ring true if my only Front End server is just
being used for OWA?
We currently have the OWA front end, a single be server wich is the
master, a be two node active/passive cluster and a be dedictated server
to receive the journaling emails.
Also, because we are journaling, I want to put a bridgehead server in.
Should this be the first server to make 2003?
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Amy
