Hi all, I am wondering if someone can answer a question for me. Currently we have Exchange 2000 running in cluster environment. Our AD is Windows 2000. Due to old hardware we like to upgrade the server but leave everything else the same, ie. same Exchange 2000 and AD 2000. Can I install the new cluster with Windows 2003, then install Exchange 2000, join the same administrative group then slowly move the mailboxes to the new cluster? But I run across an KB article Q321648 at Microsoft indicated that only Exchnage 2003 and be install on Windows 2003 regardless of the Active Directory. Can someone comment on this? Has anyone able to install Exchange 2000 in a Windows 20003 cluster environment? If so is it supported by Microsoft? and can you please tell me how? Many thanks for your help. Cuong
