I didn't see a reply to this yet, so:
You do not want to upgrade the DC to 2003 prior to upgrading Exchange to
2003. That's because Exchange 2000 won't run on a Windows 2003 machine. The
appropriate steps are to upgrade Exchange first and then Windows. See
www.microsoft.com/exchange for more information on that process.
When you install Windows 2003 into a 2000 domain, you'll get *some*
functionality differences, but you'll be running in Windows 2000 Active
Directory functional mode until you upgrade all and flip the bit to tell it
to run at a higher functionality level. You won't get much of the benefit
of a 2003 native Active Directory (2003 functionality level) until then.
Hope this helps.
Al

Hey all!
here is another case where this list can proof that it rocks ;-)
this is given:
Windows 2000 Domain
2 x DC
on one of the DC´s Ex2k is installed
how i would do it:
install a new server (2003 standard) as a dotnet-member server in our domain
upgrade the 2 2k DC´s > Win2003 Server (standard)
question 1:
the DC with Ex2k installed....could there be any problem with Ex2k? will it
work after the update properly? any experiences?
question 2:
after i installed a 2003 server as a member server in our 2k-domain, what
will happen? will we have all the features from the 2003-ads in our domain?
or only when we administrate it from the 2003 DC ? will this member server
do anything with our 2 2K DC´s?
TIA!!!
