Thanks Ed! I'll be completing the final steps this weekend and taking the Exchange 2000 server offline.

On the second, you should change the connector, yes. The SMTP Connector is an Exchange 200x object. You shouldn't need a new MX record, just a change to the new one. Or you can simply change your NAT mapping to point the A record's address to the new server.

I've purchased new hardware for Exchange 2003 and plan on decomissioning the Exchange 2000 box. I have two separate questions. First, I've installed the new Exchange 2003 box into the organization and am following the steps in article 307917. I see no reference to moving "schema-root" folder found in ESM under: %First Administrative Group -> Public Folders(view system folders). On the Replication tab under the schema-root folder's properties it says it's sitting on the Exchange 2000 box. Do I need to move this to Exchange 2003 as I did with the other public folders and Exchange services listed in 307917? Or will this update automatically when I remove the Exchange 2000 box from the organization? Second, in ESM under Administrative Groups -> First Administrative Group -> Connectors, there's an SMTP connector which lists the Exchange 2000 box as the local bridgehead. Do I switch this to the Exchange 2003 box when I'm ready? Or is this object a legacy of Exchange 5.5 that somehow survived until now? I've tested SMTP to the Exchange 2003 box via telnet and it's working perfectly as is so I was a little confused when I saw this connector. Obviously if I keep this and switch to the Exchange 2003 box I will have first asked my ISP create a new MX record to the Exchange 2003 box. Please note, we're not using a smart host nor FE/BE servers, just a single Exchange box.
