I would like to know how to i upgrade from Microsoft exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003. But i want to run this in a test inviroment first , so that would include the active directory and all the users that are on it .
has anyone done this before and what are the steps that i would need to follow in order for this project to be a success .

Steps are
1. Run Setup /forestprep and /domainprep to install the extra schema changes
2. If using IMF v1 then you need to uninstall this
2. Upgrade Exchange on the Front end servers
3. Upgrade Exchange on the Back end servers
4. Apply latest SPs and patches
