Tell me some more about how big everything is, and why you have to do this migration, is all the email on the server? Have you read what Greg told you?

Hello, This weekend, we have to accomplish a pretty serious task - upgrading a Exchange 5.5 Server on one Domain, and somehow convert/migrate it to Exchange 2000 on another domain. What would be the best way to attack this problem? Create a Trust Relationship so the 2 domains can talk to each other first? -or- Temporarily have the 5.5 Server (or vice versa) join the other Domain temporarily? I think that may break the server however - because the Admin Authentication would get screwed up as the service starts using the Domain Administrator login account right? I need a bulletproof way to accomplish this task, as there is no room for screw ups right now. One thing in our favor, is that we are not upgrading the server itself - so the original data files will always be intact - with no chance of corruption. But still my Monday, we have to have all the users moved over to the new domain, and working off of Exchange 2000. If the experts on the list could jump in briefly, and offer some really good advice on this topic, I would greatly be in your debt. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer to me.
