I just migrated our exchange server from 2003 to 2007 but it stayed on server 2003. For that we installed Exchange 2007 on the new box in coexistence mode, got it setup the way that we wanted it and then migrated the mailboxes. Once that was done and everything was working fine I uninstalled exchange 2003 from its server.

We really had no problems with the migration which was really nice. We also have a BES server that we had to point to the new exchange server but for that we just stopped the BES services, migrate the BESAdmin account to the new exchange server, grant the BESAdmin account the needed permissions over the mailboxes, migrate the rest of the blackberry users to the new exchange server, restart the services.

If you need more details I can go into more detail.
