.. well let me throw this back to you.. what do you want in terms of
features? What's the reason for the question?
Is it from a "I'm an admin migrating from 2k to 2k3 so how much new
stuff do I need to learn".. or is it "we're deploying a new server" or
is it "we're thinking of upgrading"
Okay so here we are in 2006... to me deploying a 6 year old anything
(because we all know that while Exchange 2000 is 'called' 2000.. the
bulk of that code was written when Prince was still dancing around and
partying like it was 1999 and even earlier. So first and foremost.. to
me.. the question is not.. "what's the difference between 2000 and 2003"
but rather.....
Do I upgrade/new deploy 2003 now or wait until the Exchange 2007 with
Monad and all that stuff comes out?
In my mind if you are doing a new deployment... 2000 is dead in my
mind. It's not even worth the consideration.
If your are currently on NT... that's even more dead as it's officially
dead from a tech support standpoint. And there's probably a budgetary
reason or some stupid line of business (probably an accounting
application) that won't support the upgrade.
So the question back at you is.. what are you using now? What are your
needs that aren't being met now?
I already told you why Exchange 2003 sp2 in terms of features is the way
to go for a Standard box
1. 75 gigs of storage
2. Exchange IMF v2
3. Mobility security pack/remote wipe/ I don't have to install some
Blackberry software... we just buy Mobile 3 or 5 phones
4. Better security/permissions/ etc.
5. Outlook over http
6. OWA more near Outlookishy
I include the better recoverability as part of that "feature" list as
well. And a feature for me on 2003 versus 2000 is the "community" of
2003. I can't remember a dang thing at all about the NT platform and
starting to lose 2k info. So I want to stay in the 'sweet spot' of
community and support.
Now in terms of Exchange 2007.... we're going to be set free of those
x86/32 bit limitations and up on the 64 bit platform... so you'll need
to hardware proof yourself. If you are on 2000 right now.. and are
looking to upgrade right now to 2003... should the firm wait for 2007?
Boy I can't tell you that.... that's something that you'll need to
decide for your organization.
If on NT... get on 2k3.
If on 2000.. we're starting to get to that ..hmmmm.... are we getting to
that time frame that maybe we need to wait for 2007 if we are willing to
be an early adopter and jump soon after it ships and not wait for
Exchange 2007 sp1?
But I'm not an unbiased person here.. I have Software Assurance so it's
already proven that I'm insane.
But I'm still not sure of what's the reason for the question? As an
admin point of view ..the System Manager between the 2k and 2k3 looks
pretty close to one another.. it's the Monad era stuff in Exchange 2007
that will be the learning curve era for me.

I usually answer "3" to questions like this..... Why? Well its too
general an open ended for a list like this. You know whats
important in your deployemnt, we can only guess. So:-
1. If you want general info there is a wealth of information on
the MS web site, read it taking care to concentrate on the bits
that you are interested in.
2, If you are considering an upgrade describe your existing system
and ask whats in it for you, or highlight areas of concern
3. If you are considering a new deployment, deploy 2003.
