Using Exchange Server 2003 and Changing Domain membership of this
I currently have Exchange Server 2003 and I would like to change the domain membership of the exchange server. I want to put this machine on another domain and configure clients to use it accordingly. Is it possible to add this exchange server to another Domain environment and prepare the schema and forest then use it or should i just uninstall it then do a fresh installation?

you will need to do a fresh installation of exchange, but you can keep the database an re-connect the mailboxes if you will be having the same users

Best way to install a fresh Exchange server in new domain and perform move mailboxes because Exchange server movement from one domain to another is not supportedscenario... Moving a computer that is running Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 to a different domain is not supported http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812453 -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==- Under certain conditions, you may have to move a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Server from its current domain to a new domain. However, moving a computer that is running Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 from one domain to another is not supported. Additionally, running the /disasterrecovery Setup command against the Exchange computer object that was previously in a different domain is not supported. -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==- Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
