Question 1:
Both Scenarios should be supported.
So long as your domain is Native Windows, then follow the Deployment tools.
Looks like you have the Windows Domain working, so adding the new Exchange
2003 server, and start moving your data over.
Whether you move forward with the Windows DC to W2k3 now or leave it W2k, I
don't think will make that big a difference on your migration.
Question 2:
Run the Deployment tools on the server 2. Just remember that DCDiag, will
give some errors when run on the member server rather than the DC, I believe
the Deployment Tools gives instructions on which errors/tests to worry
about.
Question 3:
So long as the Exchange 5.5 Server is up and running when the outlook logs
on once the profiles should get redirected to the new server automagically.
But the outlook client does need to contact the old 5.5 server to get
redirected to the new server.
Question 4:
Not exactly sure, but I suspect it will continue to work. The advantage of
doing an intra-org migration is most of the data stays the same. So the
Public Folders even though they exist on another server, maintain the same
address information. This means most Outlook rules continue to fire as
before, so I think it will work.
