Yes, you will have to follow the procedure for removing the first Exchange 2000 server.
Note that you do NOT have to promote your 2003 member serve to a DC if you don't need it as a DC. In fact I wouldn't recommend it. Having said this, we've run the upgrade Win2K to Win2K3 and E2K to E2K3 in-line upgrade on several of our severs and it works fine, so you don't need to move to new hardware if you don't want to. Just stick the CDs in and follow the wizards. If you've got a Front-end Server you MUST upgrade this first before any Back-end servers.
