Exchange 2003 install

I'm trying to install a new exchange 2003 server in a domain running on SBS
2000. I've installed the OS (Windows Server 2003 Standard) and joined it to
the domain. I've completed the install of exchange 2003 standard but when I
go to the exchange system manager on either the SBS 2000 or the 2003 box the
only server it shows is the SBS 2000 exchange server. I've contacted micosoft
support on this and they basicly told me that adding a second exchange server
to an SBS enviornment is not possible. I've done this before so I know it is
possible. I've searched technet but can't find any docs relating to this, can
someone point me to some docs or give me some pointers on this? Thanks

Bollocks, course it's possible. I even think it's supported although
you'd be best palced asking this question in an SBS forum.

If you run ESM on the member server or install it onto a workstation,
do you see both Exchange servers? I bet you do.

Nope, in ESM the only server that shows up is the SBS 2000 exchange server.
