Sounds good, but I'd go ahead and get Exchange 5.5 on Win2k as soon as possible. &nbsp;As ralonso mentioned, if you do dcpromo the box you will need to change the 5.5 LDAP port. &nbsp;Oh, and make sure you don't make it a GC (not supported).

I have a Windows NT 4 Domain that I am going to upgrade to 2000 Active Directory. I have Exchange 5.5 running on a BDC on this domain. My plan is to upgrade my NT PDC to 2000 AD and leave Exchange 5.5 running on an NT4 BDC for a few months before I actually upgrade it to Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000. Does anyone see a problem with this? Do you have any pointers or Microsoft KBs that could keep me from overlooking anything. Thank you in advance for your time.

NT Domain upgrade to 2K Active Directory with Exchange 5.5

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
