I have a Windows 2000 Server (1) domain I am planning to upgrade next
week to SBS 2003.

I am curious as those who have performed this kind of upgrade, whether
there are any gotchas I should be aware of or look out for.

All client machines have been upgraded to Windows XP Pro and Office
2003.

There is an existing Linux mail server that will be replaced with
Exchange server. I plan to just leave the existing .pst files from
outlook on the user's home drive (mapped to Z:\ on server)

In active directory, none of the users have their email address. Will
the upgrade populate this in the directory? Will I need to manually
change the email client on each user's machine(Outlook 2003) to point
to the new Exchange Server?

Do I need to run the script on the clients
http://server_name/connectcomputer?

Thanks for any input or advice.

Chasman
