Hi.

We are planning a Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003 upgrade.
We plan to upgrade to Exchange 2003 first and upgrade the
DC OS's and the Exchange Box OS later. (We have 2 DC's).

My question, do I have to run forestprep/domainprep on the
schema master if I am not upgrading AD to 2003 until later
or just run it on the Exchange box and again on schema
master when we upgrade to AD2003?

Thanks for your help.

Laurie
