Exchange 2000 and 5.5 cohabitation

[pmsbony]

I have been asked to upgrade our main exchange 5.5 server to 2000. That is simple enough. However we have two 5.5 servers in our system. The second one is integral to our voicemail system which does not work with exchange 2000.

currently this server replicates with the main server.

I plan to upgrade by installing exchange 2000 on a new server and then migrating everything from the main server onto it.

My question is can I still replicate my exchange 5.5 server data onto the exchange 2000 server?

any advice or pointers to where I can find the info will be gratefully recieved (not that I am offering a bribe or anything)

you should be able to do this with the Active Directory Connector. If you want, you can even join the new 2K exchange to the existing 5.5 site to make things easier.
