I would think the practical idea would be to run these just before you do the upgrade. If you run them now (Which wouldn't hurt), what's to say that some thing doesn't change between then and now which screws up your upgrade?

I will be upgrading my Exchange 5.5 to 2000 this weekend. I studied the Microsoft White Paper on doing an In-Place Upgrade of Exchange and understand that during the preparation of the Exchange 5.5 Organization, there are utilities/diagnostic tools that need to be run. For instance, the NTDSATRB to find mis-matches and MTACheck and the KCC. Can these tools be run before the actual upgrade or should I wait until the weekend and do the whole thing at once? Can utilities like NLTEST /switch, and the ADC w/Connection Agreements, /ForestPrep and /DomainPrep be run during the week before the actual upgrade? What can I do during the week that won't hinder services yet give me a "jump" on the actual upgrade this weekend. What things were you able to run/fix before the actual upgrade?
