Hi All,
I was hoping to get some feed back on people who have upgraded their environment from Exchange2000 to Exchange2003 and from Windows2000 to Windows2003. I plan on doing this soon. I have a couple questions I hope I could have answered: First of all here is what my enviroment looks like:
Single Windows2000 Domain
Native Exchange2000 on a Member Server
3 Domain Controllers
4 Member Servers
Questions
(1) Do I upgrade my Exchange2000 Server to Exchange2003 server before I upgrade the domain to Windows2003? I'm getting mixed signals on this. From what I've been reading I think I need to upgrade this first. Could someone verify this is what I need to do?
(2) If the first step is correct do I upgrade my Member Servers first to Windows2003 then proceed to upgrading my Domain Controllers?
(3) Or do I upgrade my Domain Controllers first, then upggrade my Member Servers (including my Exchange2000 Server?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions. If someone could also note any good Exchange2003 Upgrade books I could reference.
