One thing to add about this. When you read the book pay close attention to what you need to do to decommission the first server. Setting up another Exchange server in the same organization is pretty easy but when you go to remove the first there are many things that you need to be aware prior to doing so.

As one who has implemented "backoffice" type applications such as Exchange and helping with A.D installation and design, you need a book, a test environment, and or a class to get the knowledge you desire. After 3 years with AD and 5 with Exchange, I would never venture into just adding another server or throwing up AD without at least reading a good book. The task you are undertaking is more complex than it was in 5.5. Have you considered such details as routing, admin and storage groups when you add this new server? The short of it is that pointers, as Ed said, "might help you really bollocks things up". Get a book and do some reading. There are some good ones out there that will help you with your situation while providing a foundation for competent support for later issues. Good luck.

Had I thought I could give you a couple of pointers that would help you along your way, I would have cheerily done so. However, your questions are so fundamentally basic that it's obvious that you need much more than a few pointers. Actually, providing a few pointers might help you really bollocks things up. Exchange 2000 is especially unforgiving that way.

I have installed Exchange 2000 in a "Single Server" and 5.5 in a Multi Server Environment but this is a little Different than 5.5 and I was just looking for some pointers.
