Re: Retire Exchange 2000 server
I guess that's part of what I'm asking, whether these things would
happen or be prompted when running through the uninstall on the old
server, or if we need to do them manualy. I looked for a good step by
step to make sure I didn't miss anything, but haven't been able to
find anything. Thanks for your assistance!

Re: Retire Exchange 2000 server
To help explain what Lanwench was referring too, follow this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307917. After allowing time for replication
I suggest shutting down the Exchange 2000 Server for a couple of days to
insure everything is working correctly on the new Exchange 2003 Server.
