You'll need to do adprep (domain and forest) prior to dcpromo of the new
2003 server.

You'll need to do adprep (domain and forest) using the Exchange 2003 setup
disk prior to installing the second Exchange server.

Hello KJ

Thank you for your answer to my questions. After I installed the new
2003
Server to the network. I will run dcpromo on the new server, once the
process
is completed. I will transfer the FSMO role from Server 1 "Windows 2000
root
Server" to the new 2003 Server? If this procedure is correct. Do I still
have
to run adprep /forestprep on the 2003 Server before I install Exchange
2003
Server ?

Thank you very much

If you install the new Exchange 2003 server as a second server in the
same
administrative group. then you just move all the mailboxes and public
folders then follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307917/en-us to
decommission the first exchange server. Follow-ups really should go in
the
exchange group though.

Certificate Authority though is another beast. I would point you to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298138/en-us to get grasp of the issue
and
then refer you to on security.crypto newsgroup.

From reading the previous Server upgrade post, I am starting to
understand
the process of upgrade to 2003 Server.

We have a windows 2000 domain with 3 windows 2000 Server. Server 1 is
the
root Server running DNS, DHCP. Server 2 is the member server running
windows
2000 and Exchange 2000 with certificate services installed for the VPN.
We
just purchased 2 new Server we are planning to replace Server 1 and
Server
2
to 2003 and Exchange 2003 Server.
My question is once we transfer the role from Server 1 to the new 2003
Server. How do I go about transfer Server 2 "Exchange 2000" to our new
Exchange 2003 Server? Any help will be much appreciated

Thank you
