Problem

You want to install Exchange on a server that's already joined to a domain and that has been prepared according to the requirements described earlier in the chapter.

Tip

If you're using an Exchange 5.5 server, you can upgrade it to Exchange 2000, but not directly to Exchange Server 2003. The instructions below will work for upgrades from 5.5 to 2000 and from 2000 to 2003.
