I currently have an all EX2K org. Shortly I will be upgrading Exchange to W2K3 on all new h/w. I will be upgrading the domain to W2K3/EX2K3 then installing all new EX2K3 servers, moving the mailboxes across and then decommissioning the old EX2K servers. I am aware of the requirement to replace the first server in site roles, but am a little confused as to to which KB article to follow. There is one for "How to remove the first Exchange Server 2000 computer from the site" and another "How to remove the first Exchange Server 2003 computer from the administrative group" The old server is EX2K but the new "first server" will be EX2K3, so which should I follow? Thanks, Gee
