I want to to the front end server upgrade by replacing it with a new server. I cant install the new Exchange 2003 server and join it to the existing Exchange 2000 orginization since the front end server is exchange 2000. Which is the best method to replace the existing Exchange 2000 front end server to Exchange 2003 server. Regards Roger __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
