Sorry, forgot about the front end issue.
Yes, you must upgrade the front end server first in the Admin Group.
So that leaves 2 options, a simple one and a complex one:
The simple one: Upgrade your existing Front End server to Exchange 2003, it
should work with no issues. You could try setting up a lab to test out for
any issues but I know there isn't always time or resources for this, so you
might just have to upgrade the Front End.
The complex one: If you are in Native Mode Exchange this should work
however it will leave you with some odd items after the migration.
If you are in mixed Mode Exchange you probably can't use this approach.
You could create a new Administrative Group for Exchange 2003, apply the
same delegate permissions as you had for the old Admin Group.
Install your new Hardware to this new Administration Group, and let the
routing Group be the old Routing Group For your old Administration Group.
Move All the Users, public Folders Etc to the new Exchange 2003 servers
Retire the Old Exchange 2000 Servers.
Now If you have a small number of routing Groups or good network (T1+)
between your routing groups You can create a new Routing Group in the New
Admin Group, move the servers to the New Routing Group and migrate all your
connectors in other routing groups to point to the new Routing Group, and
remove the old Routing Group and Admin Group (so long as it does not contain
the Public Folder Information, if it does contain the PF then I think you'll
have to keep the old ADmin Group and Routing Group and don't create a new
one.)
Or you could keep the old Admin Group Empty of servers, and let it host the
Routing Group. Which would be the less work, but leaves you potentially
with this odd Admin Group hanging out in your Organization (should have no
ill effects, just kinda weird containing only a Routing Group and no
servers).
