I agree with you on having two servers in parallel and moving resources, I've done plenty of these and a parallel is good idea the only issue I had is with licensing since you're running two servers at the same time you'll need two copies of windows and exchange. If you're doing somewhat of a re-install there is a case to be made that you are in a disaster recovery operation and restoring a downed server.
yeah good point.
i've always worked in environments with Volume Licensing, and i do believe you have a grace period for migrations, dont take that as gospel. But would certainally be an issue for OEM licensing etc.
ive also done the disaster recovery option, but it can get messy fairly quickly. I have found the side by side migration a lot cleaner
Even for OEM Licenses, I believe you have that grace period. Microsoft would mind helping you with trial licenses for these kinds of scenarios. If you do not have the grace period option, call Microsoft Support and they will be more than happy to help any customers with trial licensing (but, make sure you tell them vat you are looking for)
There are several vendors that will let you have a High Availability solution, XOSoft has a product and so does Doubletake that will automatically point to the new server without user intervention the users will be able to use Exchange without any issues. I have installed both of these solutions and they appear to do a good job and do not require clustering. They do require an additional server, Windows, and Exchange to be running on the second System so you may want to keep this in mind. Xosoft auto failover is a very nice feature btw.
I think we are over complicating things, I wouldnt opt for clustering if your current Exchange server is falling over.
Without physically looking at your environment the most practical way I can see you achieving your outcome is to do a side by side migration. I obviously have not seen you Exchange environment but this may also be a good chance to bring your Exchange Server inline with Best Practices if it isnt already.
If you need High Availability i would look at a clustering solution after you migrate the mailboxes to a stable platform. or build the cluster environment beside the trobule server, but i would certainly not bring that trouble server into any clustered situation.
It its not overly complicated moving from one Exchange 2003 to another. Just use the guides provided above. If you dont have a great deal of experience with Exchange then a side by side migration will still be more achieveable then clustering or a 3rd Party HA solution.
