Hello, There is a lot to consider especially if your upgrading your DC as well. Attached is the white paper from Microsoft on upgrading 2000 to 2003, and here is a link about upgrading a 2000 DC to 2003.

rbjk22, thanks for the quick reply, what steps do I need to follow, do you know if there are any simpler instructions, the microsoft article is kind of confusing.

Thanks again.

exchange is already on a 2003 server, but all the DC's are on server 2000 sp4. I will read through and try first thing in the morning. If you happen to find anything that could help please shoot it my way.

Thanks again for your response, i will let you know how it works out.
