Hello,
Is there any way to do an inplace upgrade of Exchange 5.5 to Ex 2003? If
necessary, I could introduce another box to upgrade the domain to win2003,
but is there any way to upgrade 5.5 to 2003 on the same box? Thanks.

Roger

You cannot in place upgrade from 5.5 to 2003.
You would need to install a temp server and do a swing type of migration
similar to:

Thanks Kyle,
One more question...is the client login in this method necessary to get the
"new server" name in their outlookj profile? Or would there be a better
method to use to not have to touch 100+ workstations to change the echange
server name in Outlook. Thanks again for the quick response.

Yes it is. As long as the old server is still available, the Outlook
profile will automagically update to reflect the new server name; you won't
have to visit every workstation.
