Why not transition to Exchange 2007? It does not cost a lot and will provide a better service than your old Exchange 2003 box. It also means that because you have to transition to 2007 (no upgrade route) you will be putting it on the best platform to begin with.

That was my original plan, however the old exchange has been upgraded from 2000 in the past and not been completed correctley, therefor the active directory still thinks its 2000 and wont allow me to upgrade to 2007 until its been upgraded to 2003. So this is a kind of medium step.

I'm in the process of moving to a new 2007 Exchange Server.

 

What I've done so far is install the new server and add it to the domain,

then I followed these steps to install Exchange:

I don't know if this will help you at all?
