Native Mode Dependencies There is no such concept as ‘Exchange 2003 native mode’. Both Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers can live in a native mode Exchange organization. There is no such concept as ‘Exchange 2003 native mode’. Both Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers can live in a native mode Exchange organization. However … However … Query-based Distribution Groups (QDGs) can only be created in a native mode Exchange organization If routing bridgehead pairs are upgraded to Exchange 2003 in a native mode org, they will use 8BITMIME data transfers instead of converting down to 7-bit. This equates to a considerable bytes on the wire saving over Routing Group Connectors In native mode, the Exchange Store automatically ignores and removes zombie ACE entries (applicable if you previously had Exchange 5.5 in the organization)

OWA Compatibility It is not sufficient to simply upgrade front-end servers to Exchange 2003 for users to get the new interface It is not sufficient to simply upgrade front-end servers to Exchange 2003 for users to get the new interface You must upgrade back-end servers to Exchange 2003 as well You must upgrade back-end servers to Exchange 2003 as well Interface matrix Interface matrix Ex2000 FE + Ex2000 BE = Ex2000 OWA Ex2003 FE + Ex2000 BE = Ex2000 OWA Ex2000 FE + Ex2003 BE = Not supported (AG protected) Ex2003 FE + Ex2003 BE = Ex2003 OWA

From Exchange 5.5 Get up to speed on the ExDeploy tool Get up to speed on the ExDeploy tool You can’t run SETUP without it! ForestPrep no longer creates the org name ForestPrep no longer creates the org name However, first server install must be Exchange 2003 and not Exchange 2000 No in-place upgrade option No in-place upgrade option Drop in a new Exchange 2003 server Use the new ESM to move mailboxes Use the new ESM to move mailboxes Schedulable Move from within ESM

From Exchange 2000 In-place server upgrade is so easy! In-place server upgrade is so easy! “28 mins and you’re done!” (Quote: HP) “we let the clueless manager do the upgrade” (Quote: ???) If in mixed mode …. If in mixed mode …. Plan out your ADC upgrades carefully If in native mode …. If in native mode …. Upgrade bridgehead pairs to save bytes on the wire
