You should be able to go ahead with the installation of the 2nd server no problem. You have to be careful removing the first server, see:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307917 You will have to move all the mailboxes from the first server to the second. In my experience email clients are automatically redirected, you'll have to keep the original box up for a while because the redirection occurs when the client logs on.

Hello all, My company is getting ready to deploy a 2nd Exchange 2k box to eventually replace our old Exchange 2K box. Are there any special precautions we need to take before implementation? Also, when we pull the old one down, will we end up having to re-point all of our e-mail clients, or is that all automatic?
