I have an Echange 5.5 sp3 mailsite on an NT server that is doomed to fail any day now so I need to bring up a new mail server and move our existing mailsite ASAP. There is no immediate plan to upgrade my domain from NT4.0 to Win2k. Is Exchange 2000 an option for my organization or would I need Active Directory up and running first?

Exchange 2K on NT 4.0 Domain

Yep you need AD in order to install exchange 2000.
One way to start your migration, is instaling a new Windows 2000 Forest with Exchange 2000 (separate from your actual domain).
Latter on you'll use a service called ADC (Active directory connector) that wil permit you to migrate mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000.
Good advice:
Before doing any of this, try to find some good documents on this issue.

Try this.
There are several articles out. If DNS and AD are working the life is good. Just make sure not to point any adapter to external DNS and only use forwarders for that. Dan
