We are planning on upgrading our Windows 2000 Server that has Exchange 2000 loaded on it to Small Business Server 2003 Premium that comes loaded with Exchange 2003. Will there be any issues with this upgrade on both the OS and Exchange? Or will I be forced to do a fresh install? What would be the best method for me to backup the Exchange 2k database so that I can place it in the 2003 version?
 
Thanks in advance!

Swing server it. In other words, build a temp exchange server, a member of the same exchange organization. Move the mailboxes to it. Rebuild the new server as exchange2k3. Move the mailboxes back.
