This is my first Exchange 2003 installation. Currently there is a dormant
installation of Exchange Server 2003 on the Organization Master (it has never
been used as an Exchange Server, the app has just been installed). I am
installing Exchange Server 2003 on a new box on the same domain. Can I just
uninstall the install on the organizational master, or is that going to jam
up my new install? I have read the lengthy directions to uninstall Exchange
2003-so I am not sure if I need to accomplish that first, then install the
new box with Exchange? I woul appreciate any help on this issue.

just install the Exchange on the new box and then follow
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822931 to
remove the key information and uninstall from the first.
You'll find it easier to do it this way round.
