Don't forget to rehome the system folders (Free/Busy and OAB) before you remove the original 2000 server.

I need to upgrade my Exchange 2000 SP3 installation to Exchange 2003. My plan is to install a second Front-End server with existing E2K 2000 box. The new FE will be Windows 2003/Exchange 2003. I will then install a new Windows 2003/Exchange 2003 Back-End server in my E2K site. After that, I will do a mailbox move off my Exchange 2000 servers to the new Exchange 2003 server. I will finally uninstall the Exchange 2000 Back-End and Front-End and redirect my incoming mail and OWA to the new 2003 Front-End. I want to use the upgrade as a change to get fresh installs on all my Exchange servers. This is like the in-place upgrade, but I have not seen much about this approach with Exchange 2003. Will this plan work? Am I missing something? Thanks for your comments.
