Best practice to move AD to new domain, and exchange 03 to 2010


Hello all, and thanks in advance for your advice.

I am migrating domain A to domain B.  Including exchange mailboxes from 2003 to 2010 on the new domain.  

Domain A is using server 2003, and exchange 2003. About 100 users and mailboxes.

Domain B is using server 2003, exchange 2010 (on s2k8)

I have ADMT setup and tested to move all users/groups/sigs etc. Can I move everything over first, and then migrate mailboxes to the new domain?

I'm sure this is going to be oodles of fun.  Thanks again all

Thanks!

Do any of these address the fact that im also changing domains?  Not sure if that makes a big difference?

Exactly my goal.  One catastrophe at a time :)

Thanks to both of you will get out my reading glasses!
Thanks guys.  Moving along well!  Things are coming together now.  Another quick question.
 I've transferred a mailbox.  No problems.  When i logon to a machine on the same domain as the exchange server, all is fine.

Currently the office is on a different domain pending to be moved over to the same domain the exchange server is on.  If I login to my old domain and connect to the new 2010 server, it seems to work, but fails on the send receive.  If I exit outlook and come back in, the testmail i sent is there, but still errors out on the send receive.  Encryption is turned on in the profile.  

I'd like it to work on the old domain so i dont have migrate all the desktop profiles till after the mail migration.  Probably just an AD issue?  The domains are trusted in both directions.

Thanks again guys!
Super! Sorry I didn't reply sooner.. crazy day. :)
