You've asked what I call a "consulting engagement" question. Your question is by necessity deficient in the amount of detail any of us would need to assess your plan. If you were to supply enough detail, it would take any of us more time to assess your plan than any of us is prepared to devote. Therefore, I recommend you contract with a consultant to review your plan and to suggest improvements.

As part of the process, I plan on shutting down my Exchange servers (Exchange 2000 in a Win2K domain) on March 31. I have a subset of users that will be moving to a separate domain (domain B) when that domain becomes active in June. They will be on a new Exchange 2003 server that will wind up in a Server 2003 native domain at that time. What I would like to do is: 1) Build a new Exchange 2003 server and bring it in to the existing W2K domain. 2) Move the subset of user that will move to domain B to the new Ex2K3 server. 3) On March 31, spin down the old mail servers and point my firewall to the new Exchange server. 4) When domain B is ready, move the 2K3 Exchange server to the new domain, rerun the Exchange install to add the Exchange attributes to AD in domain B, and then remove domain A from service. Any thoughts on this process? Am I missing something? Thanks, Kevin P.
