Adding a W2003K with Exchange 2003K to Windows 2000 domain

I am installing a new exchange server and would like to use Windows 2003
Standard Server with Exchange 2003. Are there any know issues or problems
with this? Both the W2K DC and W2K BDC have latest service pack (4) and all
patches. All workstations are W2K or XP Pro.

No known issues at all. Matter of fact, if you are still in Win2k AD, you
can install Exchange 2003 on a Windows 2000 SP3 or newer. This will
faciliate upgrades.

btw- Your "BDC" reference is legacy and only applies to NT4. All W2k and
W2k3 DCs are just DCs, and are writable replicas, whereas in NT4, only one
was writable, the PDC, and all others were read-only (BDCs).
