Hi

I have five Windows 2000 child domains with 2 Exchange 2000 servers each
(all under one Exchange organization).
We want to consolidate all the Exchange Servers into one highly available
Exchange 2003.

At this time we are not upgrading our AD to Windows 2003 yet. Only the
Exchange Servers. The schema has been extended and there is already an
Exchange 2003 server installed.
Will installing Exchange 2003 on the same Exchange 2000 Exchange
organization and moving the mail boxes from the E2K servers work?

Are there any issues we should be aware of if we are going to go this route?

I appreciate your taking a time to reply.

Thanks
Warsai

As long as you make sure there will be no performance issues, that's a
perfectly good way of doing it.
Some advices:
1. Synchronize your AD often, preferably right after moving the mailboxes
2. read some documentation:
