Here is my structure... I have a FE and a few BE servers. I want to bring in a new Exchange 2003 server for our upgrade and move all of our users over to it the remove our Exchange 2000 servers. So I cant bring in a Exchange 2003 BE server and keep our Exchange 2000 FE right? I would eithor have to not make it a BE server or I would have to upgrade our current FE to Exchange 2003 first. Damn, that sucks. I don't trust in place upgrades, so how would one go about upgrading the FE? Can you have two FE servers (Exchange 2k and 2k3) in the same Administrative Group? Thanks.

That's no.3 in the list here: http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/07/exchange_2000_2.html Neil -----Original Message----- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: 06 August 2003 13:06 Posted To: Swynk Exchange List Conversation: Upgrade of FE to E2K3 Subject: Upgrade of FE to E2K3 >From Q822942 -For front-end and back-end servers that are in the same administrative group, you must upgrade the front-end servers to Exchange 2003 (or install Exchange 2003 on the front-end server) before you upgrade the back-end server to Exchange 2003 (or install Exchange 2003 on the back-end server). Does this include bringing in a completely differnet and new server into the group (swing method) or do I definitly need to upgrade our FE to 2k3 before adding our first 2k3 server to the Admin Group?
