Upgrade to 2003



We are upgrading from Winsdows 2000 Exchange 2000 to 2003.
We need to install all new Hard Drives.

This there any issue with the setup below or is there a better way?

Delete Exchange from AD Q325323
Build new server Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003 same hostname
Run Forestprep and Install Admin Tools only
Create a First Admin Group KB271882 same before
Install Exchange 2003 and use the same Organization Group
Move the databases to the same location as before
Restore database from the Exch 2000 backup

So the Org, First Admin Group, Server name, Database locations are the same
as before.

This there any issue with the setup above or is there a better way?

Thank You
MaTT
