Hi Navar, I would suggest that you follow a 2 phase process in this migration Stage 1: Where you migrate the users from the Single Exchange 2000 box to the Single Exchange 2003 Server successfully. Check out these links for migration from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003. Upgrading from Exchange 2000 Server to Exchange Server 2003http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997042(EXCHG.65).aspx Exchange Server Interoperability and Migration Guidehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997840.aspx Using the Exchange Migration Wizardhttp://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange-Migration-Wizard.html Once you have migrated all the setting would be transferred to the new Exchange 2003 Server. Thus after completing the Stage 1, then add another server in your environment, and then check the option, this server is FE. That will take care of the FE-BE Scenario. Let me know if you still have any concerns.
