support.
Exchange Server 2003 is the first version of Exchange that
is supported on computers that run Windows Server 2003. You can install the
following versions of Exchange 2000 on a computer that is running Windows 2000
Server in a mixed Windows Server 2003 Active Directory environment:
- Exchange 2000 SP3 (recommended)
- Exchange 2000 SP2 with the latest Microsoft Exchange 2000
Server post-Service Pack 2 hotfix rollup package (319743)
You can also run these versions of Exchange 2000 in an
environment that is fully based on Windows Server 2003 Active Directory.
The Exchange 2000 version of the Active Directory Connector is not supported on Windows Server 2003. However, the Exchange 2000 version of the Active Directory Connector is supported in a mixed-mode domain controller environment where the domain controllers are running Windows Server 2003.
