Does, or is anyone familliar with upgrading an old exchange 2000 server to a new hardware platform?

How long does it take, and are there any utilities. Is there an over the wire upgrade like Novell?

Well this depends on what you're doing. The best way would be to bring up the new hardware and get everything loaded and then join the Exchange server to the existing Exchange site and then do a mailbox move between the servers. This will let you look at your working config at the same time and replicate it to the new machine.

There are some tools that see more suited to the 5.5 to 2k migration, not so sure about 2k to 2k.

Then again take the time to hit Technet or the Exchange site at MS. They've been beat up hard on a lot of this so there is some killer documentation out there.
