Well I'm not totally screwed because I'm doing this on a test lab. :) I joined it on intiail install but I already had ADC on it the server. I wanted to test to see if I needed to add another server first before adding the cluster server. Which turns I do. Now, when I install the first Exchange 2k box into Exchange 5.5 org. And then bring in the cluster, am I going to see my site servers in 5.5 in my Administrative group w/my new Exchange 2k servers? I left out that I'm going to run ADC on the first server installed into my 5.5 site until I complete the upgrade. It's basically going to server just the ADC purpose until I get all the mailboxes onto this cluster server. Then in turn I will remove it from the AG.

The question is how badly. And the answer is I'm not sure... Did you join an existing Exchange org on install? If so, I would have expected the install to fail if your ADC wasn't already running (which based on the original question it's not clear that it is/was).
