I have an exchange 2000 server witht the following services/software
installed:
Windows 2000 Server SP4 fully patched
Exchange 2000 Enterprise fully patched with SP3
GFI MailEssentials 10.1
GroupShield 6.01
MailBasket
Virus Scan Enterprise 7.1

We just received our lic of Exchange 2003 Ent. and I would like to upgrade
our current Exchange 2000 box (without uninstalling anything).

I'm really worried that all the other app's (that are already "hooked" into
E2k ) might not function correctly if I do the upgrade, or cause Exchange
2003 not to function.

Does anyone have opinions on this, or could you tell my your similar story.

Thanks so much
