upgrade from 2003 to 2007
I have read about every paper on this, but to get it straight in my head.
Client has a OWA server and one EXCH2003 server, the general upgrade process is:
Prepare AD Extend AD Insert NEW CAS2007 server to Exchange system
AT this time I assume both OWA and OA clients should be able to browse to either OWA or CAS server and login (correct?)?
Redirect OA clients to new CAS2007 Insert New EXCH2007 Server(Mailbox & Hub Transport)
Move Mailbox to EXCH2007 Redirect MAPI Clients to EXCH2007 Redirect incoming SMTP to EXCH2007 Decomission OWA Decomission old EXCH2003 - will this redirect my outbound SMTP
I know i am condensing this but does it fit the flow?

Hello
This are the very common steps for Transition from Exchange 2003 to 2007
You can also follow this step by step method for migrating mailboxes first migrate some test mailboxes and check the outlook owa settings.
Considering this you need to check the mail flow when migrating mailboxes.
