If your Exchange 2000 organization takes advantage of front-end and back-end architecture, you must upgrade your front-end servers before you upgrade your back-end servers. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure about the licensing requirements but you would need a license for each Exchange installation.<br />

Hello Everyone<br />
<br />
I have a Exchange 2000 Front -End Server and an Exchange 2000 Backend Server<br />
<br />
I have purchases Exchange 2003 Enterprise and a new server <br />
what is the best way of installing this!<br />
<br />
I was planning to just install Exchange 2003 in mixed mode and move mailboxes, but i was reading somewhere that you need to upgrade the backend server first!<br />
<br />
I will eventually be upgrading the front end server but what is the best way to go about this upgrade?<br />
<br />
also do i need another license for the backend server ?? another Exchange 2003 license? and if i do, can i use Exchange 2003 Standard for the Front End Server<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help<br />
