Hello freinds, we presently have win 2003 domain with exch 2003. we are planning to install a new exchange 2007 server in our domain. The idea is to utilize the benefits of exch 2007 (unified comm.) so once this server is online, we will move all our mailboxes within certain period of time (let say within 1 month) to exch 2007, which means for the specifed duration we will have 2 exch servers exisitng in our domain. My question is that, is it possible to have exch 2003 and exch 2007 coexisting in the same domain ???? and any external mails still flowing through exch 2003 as how it is now (in our case) ??? Looking forward to your inputs. let me know if more clarification is needed. Regards BurhanM

This is good news! And... the next question... How difficult is it to decommission the Exchange 2003 server? After I knock the training wheels off, can I easily get rid of 2003?

Yes, there is connectivity between 2007 and Notes. If you had GroupWise or something from the M Mouse email emporium then you'd need to retain the 2003 infrastructure.
