Hi,
Currently I have a NT 4.0 Domain and Exchange 5.5 Enterprise SP4 running on
a Windows 2000 SP4 server (not pdc or bdc). I want to get to a 2003 Domain
(mixed enviroment - 03 and 2000 servers - no NT 4.0) and have Exchange 03
Enterprise running on 2003 Server(using the current Exchange machine).
Q1: What should get upgraded first the domain or exhange?
Q2: Should the 03 server running Exchange 03 have AD running, so it's a DC?
Thanks,
Kelly

Exchange 200x requires Active Directory.

So AD first...probably by upgrading your PDC.
Then install the ADC from Exchange 2003...this will help you migrate
Exchange directory information to AD.
Then you forestprep/domainprep/install Exchange 2003.
And you start moving mailboxes etc.

Good luck.
