I am attempting to upgrade Exchange 5.5 on a Win2K server and I get an Installation Wizard Note that:
-The NNTP component of IIS is not install;
-The directory service is not the expected type(Win2KActive Directory vs. Exchange Directory). Make sure that Win2K AD and Ech Dir Services are not listening on the same LDAP port
-To upgrade your Exchange 5.5.server the account you are logged on as must be have Admin permissions on the site and Config objects.

I have review but do not find a NNTP service to install in IIS, don't know about directory type expected and I have confirmed that I have Admn persmissions on the site.

Any help?

Go to add/remove Windows Components. Select IIS and click Details. NNTP Service will be listed.
One question that has to asked is the Win2K server a domain controller? If it is then AD is using LDAP port 389. Exchange 5.5 also uses LDAP port 389 for its directory service. The Exchange one needs changed. Open Exchange Admin and expand your Site then Configuration and expand protocols. Find LDAP and choose properties. A good choice is to choice is 379 (Its the port Ex2k uses for the SRS [site replication service]). You need to also go to the Server container and choose protocols there and do the same thing. Stop and start your Exchange Directory Service.
You should also configure the ADC from the Exchange 2000 SP1 CD if you havent done so already. This will write the Exchange Org information into AD and synronize the Exchange Directory with AD.
Also make sure you have Ex5.5 SP3 installed and SP4 is recommended.
