Migrating exch 5.5 to exch 2000 on new 2003 domain

[c0r0]

Hi
We currently have Exchange 5.5(sp3) running on a win2k domain.
I have created a new win2003 domain ( on the same subnet )which we will be migrating all our data and users to.
In this domain one of the servers will be win2k so that i can install Exchange 2k on it.
I want to migrate the Exchange 5.5 users onto the new Exchange 2000 server in the new Win2003 domain. Preferably with the Exchange servers being able to coexist so the migration can be phased. Has anyone done this and can they point me to any useful documentation.
Any general info/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Why go to a new W2003 domain rather than upgrading your W2K one? It adds a lot of extra complexity.

MS has tons of documentation on all the various rollout options.
Unless you have already bought XC2000 I'd also suggest going straight to XC2003. It will work quite happily on a W2K server although you won't get the full benefit if it isn't on W2003.

XC2003 and OL2003 working together have a lot of advantages over previous client / server combos.

We just recently migrated from exchange 5.5 to 2000 but we stayed in the same domain. I used article 316886 as my main point of reference from microsoft's knowledge base.
