Exchange 2003 Ent upgrade to XCH2010
I have an Exchange 2003 Enterprise server in my organization. I want to move to Exchange 2010 std.
Is this possible? Can move from XCH2003 ENT (two databases) to an XCH2010 Std or do I have to stay on XCH2010 Enterprise?

When instaling Xch2010 I do not join the Present organization, do I? In order word, the xch2003 won't a warning stating that I can not add a Xch2010 or someting like that?
I need to know this before purchasing xhc2010 std or ent.

When you install Exchange 2010 it will create a connector so the two can communicate. Only after you transfer all your mailboxes, PF and you are sure everything is working properly will decommission the old exchange. Here is a Step by Step Migration:
