I am setting up windows server 2003 and my current
domain structure is windows advanced server 2000 running exchange 2000. Can I bring windows server 2003 into the 2000 domain and make it the primary domain controller replacing the existing windows 2000 domain controller without a lot of hassle?

In fact I just done that just recently, as long as you run the checks using the GPOTOOL, DCDIAG, NETDIAG before hand and then run the ADPREP /ForestPrep and ADPREP /DomainPrep before hand. Then you can add a 2003 server ok and move the FSMO roles over to new server.
