Hi there!
I'm in the process of migrating OLD Exchange 2003 SP2 standalone server to
NEW Exchange server 2003 SP2 clustered environment. We have app. 56 Gb of
First Storage group and my questions are:
What is the best way to migrate this kind of scenario?
What about transaction logs !?
Offline or Online backup and restore !?
Thanx for all comments and suggestions !!! :)

Setup cluster (including EVS), test (create/move test mailboxes, test
functionality, mailflow, OAB, F/B, etc.), move mailboxes.

I forgot one big issue.
The process of moving the server to clustered environment is that IP and mail
server name have to remain same as the old server! So therefore, shutdown of
old email server must be done after online backup.
Thx for reply Bharat ;)
