Our CIO would like us to upgrade one thing at a time and that's the reason why we are just upgrading to Active Directory first with out upgrading our Exchange 5.5 We will be eventually migrating from 5.5 to 2000 once the Active Directory is up and running for a while. Hope this helps. Thanks for the input by the way.

It is essentally used to migrate Ex 5.5 to ex 2000. It is not clear as to why you need to connect Exchange 5.5 to Active Directory, maybe I am missing something, never mind.

Pulled the BDC off of the network and upgraded the newer BDC to PDC. Once I promoted the BDC to PDC, I then installed Windows 2000 and ran DCPROMO to installed Active Directory. Installed DNS and configured properly. I ran the tests and its working properly. Current Forest Root has DHCP, DNS, Wins and all the FSMO roles on the same server. Now I am trying to connect my Exchange 5.5 to this Active Directory. I hope this is clear. By the way, the reason for me doing this way is because, we want to keep the same domain name as before and very little downtime.

Is this a additional server or did you upgarde an exsisting NT 4.0 Controller. Not enough info. Sounds like you didn't plan well.
