Today Microsoft is coming up to visit with us. Our Premier contract had some extra hours on it, so we're going to burn them by getting MS-approval for our migration plan for Exchange 2000 -> Exchange 2003. This does, of course, also require a migration to Windows 2003 in some places, so we're dealing with that as well. The preliminary plan looks good, but we just need to know if there are any gotchas we've overlooked.
One thing that did arouse the ire of one of the other administrators is that there is a schema conflict! It seems Exchange2000 and AD2003 both want to use the same attribute slightly differently. There are some KB articles on dealing with it, but it was rather annoying to discover.
UPDATE: Our plan has been given the stamp of approval. We're going to kick off the Win2003 upgrades next Tuesday during our regular downtime window.
