Moving Exchange 2000 Old Server to Exchange 2003 New Server

[rolmank]

Hi all, I need advices on the following:

I will migrating a Exchange 2000 on a Old server to Exchange 2003, a new server soon.

I had read up some articles on the moving/migration.
Is it a must run the inetorgpersonprevent.ldf for the first Exchange 2003 in the domain?
It is advicable to install the Exchange 2003 first and move users' mailboxes before my ISP change the A Record?

Can I fall back to the Exchange 2000 if the migration failed?

Hope to hear from all soon.

Thanks and Regards
RolmanK

Leave the old server online until all clients have logged into their mailboxes again. This will auto update Outlook.
