Sure. Definitely another option to look at, but only if you have another server available. If you do have another server, it's probably the better method, as it is less risky.

I don't like doing "upgrades". Operating Systems especially. Your best plan of action is to simply take a backup of Exchange (both online AND offline), make sure that the backup is good, then format and rebuild the server with Advanced, and restore your backup. If you give the server the same name (why wouldn't you...), you should be able to run Exchange setup /disasterrecovery and have it glean all it's info out of Active Directory. The Disaster Recovery Whitepaper should be a great friend during this part.

The thing is that this server has Exchange 2000 currently present on it. Are there any processes out there that will show you how to upgrade this server with this least amount of conflict?
