Hi,

Thanks for posting!

Please note that the newsgroups provide assistance to resolve break/fix
issues. We are happy to provide general information in regard to this
query, and would invite you to post to the public newsgroup for peer
experience and recommendations.

We also recommend Microsoft Advisory Services, a remotely-delivered,
consultative support option that adds the element of proactive support,
providing a comprehensive result beyond your break-fix product maintenance
needs. More information on this service here:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/advisoryservice

=======================================
Any chance of moving Exchange off of the DC during this procedure,
generally it is not recommended to install Exchange on a DC due to security
reasons and performance reasons.

Also to save time you don't need to inplace upgrade the current Exchange
server to Exchange 2003 or Windows 2003, you will be able to successfully
migrate the mailboxes to the new EX2 server without this process.

Also if you are still going to make EX2 a DC running Exchange it is best to
DCPromo the server first before installing Exchange.
======================================

I hope this information is helpful in getting started and we invite you to
post again with any specific break/fix issues.

Thanks & Regards,

Jason Tan
