I need to replace my exchange 2003 server does anyone know the best way to accomplish this? Least impact and quickest. I would like to switch to 64bit on the operating system if possible but not required. 

Anyone know if there is software for moving an exchange server from one machine to another? Would acronis back work?

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
