No. But keep in mind, are you aware how to add a new 2003 DC to an existing
2000 AD?

I hope Ex55 is not on a DC.

That depends on your scenario. If only one server and a small environment,
and the server can handle Exchange 2000, (still NOT recommended to be on a
DC), then sure, the upgrade will be the easier method.

Take a look at this:
