Installing First Exch2K3 Server into 5.5 Environment   

We are going move to Exchange 2003 and presently have a Exchange 5.5 only 
environment in a Windows Server 2003 AD environment.  Our existing 5.5 
server is running on Windows 2000 SP4.  Is there any harm in installing an 
Exchange 2003 server in our environment to start testing with?

Thanks,

Shih

Avoid performing test on the production environment. If it is meant for 
testing only, then do it at the test lab or use VPC/VS to simulate it.
