Upgrade W2K or E2K first ??

[rwilliams3]

Hi,

I have a Windows 2000 SP4 Server running Exchange 2000 SP3. This machine is also the DC/GC/AD server. (I have 3 other NT 4 Servers that need to be upgraded....)

QUESTION:

Should I
1.) upgrade the Exchange to 2003. Get it working then upgrade Windows to 2003 Server. or

2.) upgrade Windows to 2003 Server. Get it working then upgrade Exchange to 2003?

Tips or suggestions?

Thanks,

Russell

According to MS guidelines you will have to Upgrade E2k to E2k3 befoe upgrading w2k to w2k3, since exchange 2000 isn´t supported on Win2k3..
