Just a simple query...

If i install Exchange 2003 on my front end server, will this give my users Web Outlook 2003 if i dont upgrade the 2000 backend servers aswell?

We want to give users the functionality of 2003 without doing the backend this week...

However, as you can see in the article, you will get the Outlook Web Access version of Exchange 2000.
