Ok, so in the near future, I will be purchasing a New Server with windows 2k3 and exchange 2003. Problem is, I currently have and old box, with windows 2000 and exchange 2000 and its the domain controller, I have one other server the is already windows 2k3. Just a regular server, no DC.

What would be the easiest route to do this, I have read many articles about upgrading the current server, or putting exchange 03 on a 2000 machine then upgrade that to win 2k3.

I guess my situation is a little different. Cause its a whole new hardware and software upgrade. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thank You!
