I don't know that much about AD. Will "Legacy" (i.e. Win98 SE) clients
still
be able to authenticate with AD the way they do with NT domains?

Without AD you really have no upgrade path at all.
You need to think about getting on AD. The rest will follow.

Subject: Upgrading Ex 5.5 options
What's the best option to upgrade Exchange 5.5? I've been told to create
a
"wishlist" and obviously this would be on that wishlist. We are
currently
using an NT domain here. No AD in use at all. Knowing next to nothing
about
AD I'd rather stick with NT domain if possible. Can EX
2K/2K3 work in an NT domain? Can someone point me to a FAQ regarding the
system requirements?
Thanks
John

That's a very good suggestion. Fortunately, our mail servers are running on
2000 Server, so THAT, at least is AD-compliant/ready. Our PDC is an NT4 box,
and needs to be upgraded to 2000/AD, as does our BDC. We still have a few
NT4 systems running around that, for software reasons, we HAVE to keep as
NT4. Fortunately, there's an AD client available for those too. :-)

Wouldn't we all like to hire consultants? I sure would, often. I'm very
lazy. But working for myself and now for a private, non-profit makes it
rather tough to do so, there isn't a whole lot of extra money available.
Hiring consultants is way too often hit-or-miss, anyway, with a huge
cost no matter what the result.
I have upgraded servers and systems from NT4 to Win2K and from there to
Server 03 several times. Also Exch 5.5 to Exch 03. It hasn't been that
tough. Keep in mind, all the companies I did this for had only plus or
minus 100 users. Win98SE still works, although I don't have any more of
those clients myself.
For an NT4 to Win2K upgrade, I built a new, strong box as an NT4 BDC,
and then uplifted it to PDC. Then I just put in the Win2K server disk
and followed directions. I never did it but I assume you could put in an
03 server CD and do the upgrade from NT4 just as well if not more
easily. If the upgrade would have failed, I would have taken it offline,
killed it, and made one of the other BDCs into the PDC. But it always
worked fine. After upgrading the PDC, I did the same to the other BDCs,
then to all the rest of the servers. I believe the same goes for Server
03. I have only done the server upgrade from NT4 to Win2K or from Win2K
to Server 03. With Exchange 5.5 on a Win2K server (no other NT4 boxes on
the network), I simply built a new 03 server, put Exchange 03 on the new
server, making sure it knew about the 5.5 server, and followed
directions.
This is how I remember it, but it's been a year since I needed to do
this, and I am old, losing brain cells with every breath. But I took my
time, using much patience, and kept the Microsoft 800 number and a
credit card near at hand (Microsoft is the one consultant, now
sub-contracted out, I know, that I have used several times over the
years, always with a problem solved, although one time it did take 20
hours). I would do my upgrades, usually over a three-day weekend, only
after I had two for-sure-good tape backups as well as all the data
backed up to a standalone server. So far, knock on my noggin, I have not
lost a system or any data. Having said that, all will fall down around
my ears today, eh?
YMMV...
