Hi Everyone,

I'm after a little guidance, if someone would be so kind. I've an Exchange and Windows 2000 -> 2003 migration to look forward to in the near future, together with the implementation of a cluster solution for our new Exchange environment. I've an idea of how I plan on proceeding and the order in which things should be done, but I'd like your learned opinions. Here's my plan:

* Upgrade EX2K to EX2K3
* Upgrade OS to 2K3
* Upgrade domain to 2K3
* Build EX2K3 cluster
* Migrate mailboxes to new solution
* Introduce new EX2K box for Instant Messaging

Whaddya say guys, does this look a sensible way of doing things, or do any of you have any alternate ideas?

Many Thanks in advance,
Orb
