I know it's not directly thin-related but where else can I go for truly
professional advice? I've finished buttering you all up now.

I have finally had the go-ahead to replace my ageing Exchange 5.5 system,
currently running on a Compaq CL380 cluster in active/passive mode. I plan
to do away with clustering and run multiple servers attached to my shiny new
SAN. The question is, how should I go about migrating? Install the new
servers as Exchange 5.5 servers in the existing setup, migrate the mailbox
and other resources, then upgrade to exchange 2000/2003? Install the new
servers as 2000/2003 and somehow migrate everything over? Upgrade the
existing servers to 2000/2003, add the new ones and migrate?

All suggestions/links gratefully received.
