Re: Migrating Windows 2000 domain to Windows 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Amanda

Though our domain is on windows 2000. We have exchange Server 2003 running
on a Windows 2000 server box. and we have one Windows Server 2003 member
server (which is our file server). Do I have to take any special precautions,
before i proceed with the upgrade?

Thanks
K.V
