[john loone]

I have an existing exchange 2000 server that its hasrdware is failing so i
want to setup a new exchange 2000 server and move all the mailboxes over to
the new one. How can i do this with little or no downtime?

This will give you the basic steps just ignore the Exchange 2003 part,

You need to install the Exchange 2000 Server into your existing org then
move mailboxes and finally follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307917. I
would turn off the old Exchange Server for about 24 hours before removing to
insure everything has replicated properly.
