Why? When we deployed Exchange 5.5 on Win2K, Microsoft asked us if we wanted to deploy Exchange 2000 beta and they would support it. I said no because I wasn't sure the A/V or backup would work. Note howver I had near zero testing/evaluation time; nice huh? I shoulda went Exchange 2000. The Windows 2000 ADC doesn't work very well, test and use the ADC from the Exchange 2K CD instead.
I've had odd problems with services hanging once every few months (STORE.EXE is a favorite). So I'm rebooting the Exchange server once a month. So my suggestion is go Exchange 2000 if you can instead, you gotta go Exchange 2000 eventually right? I'm testing Exchange 2000 and migrations for the next couple of months before we deploy.

Is it a happy combination? Any issues that anyone has come across? Looking to be setting up a new Exchange server on a W2K box in a little over a week & just want input before jumping headlong into it.
