We currently are running a single Exchange 2000 sever at our company. We
would like to add an Exchange 2003 server and mirror a dozen mailboxes for
the purpose of utilizing the Mobile Information Services technology that is
included with the 2003 server.

My questions are:

Will the two versions of Exchange Server coexist ?

Is it possible to mirror mailboxes between the two servers or must I move
the mailboxes?

Any information about the viability of this proposed configuration is
greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Rob Maciel

Yes, Exchange 2000 and 2003 can coexist in the same site. No, two mailboxes
cannot be mirrored, a single mailbox can reside on only one server at a
time.

Thanks for your reply John!

I plan on using the existing 2000 Exchange server as the gateway. Do you
know if the Mobile Information Server functionality will work through the
2000 server, or do I need to make the 2003 server the gateway?
