Here's a possible game plan to help reduce the stress of of migration.
1. Create an initial migration plan. Estimate budget requirements and get
it approved early on.
2. Estimate Company messaging requirement for coming 2 - 3 years, then add
10% to the estimate.
3. Design your new Exchange 2000 system to meet item 2.
4. Obtain services from the likes of Microsoft Consulting Services or
Compaq Global Services to help review your design. Ask the consulting
company to answer the question, "Does it meet your item 2 requirements?"
5. The next step is to implement your design, there are two phases to this:
5.1 Phase I: This is known as a pilot phase. Here's where you buy the
first half of your new production Exchange 2000 system...and the fun begins.
5.2 Phase II: By now, your entire IT department is on the new
system...and the company is hearing good things about this new Exchange
2000....everyone is excited and asking when will they be migrated to this
awesome system you have built....the not so fun work begins (depends on who
you are actually...myself I love the work)...the migration begins. Yahoo.
6. Collect the Hero medal at the end of the year.
Cheer,
Leonard Lee

Yes, but the "without having any problems" part kind of depends on you.

Subject: Migration to Exchange 2000
We are currently running Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT 4.0 SP6.
Can we upgrade to Exchange 2000, leaving the desktops with
NT 4.0 SP6a, and Office 97 (Outlook 98) without having
any problems?
Thanks.
Robert
