Back up the existing Exchange Store.
Ok the back up refused to continue show crap errors and entries in Event Viewer , Looking at those entries in Event Viewer suggested I have a royal pain in my Exchange server as the existing public folder is corrupted, and I have messed it royally in Active Directory. 2 Steps saved the day
1. Resetting the permissions in the exchange store with setup /domainprep from the existing exchnage CD did solved persmission issues, but still the ntbackup wouldnt move forward
2.Created a Public Folder in the same store which was showing missing object error for Public Folder.
Ok Now after that we are ready for the backup with ntbackup
Once backup is over
Applied Service Pack 3 to Exchange 2000 & main step dont forget to reboot :D
Ok thats the end of stage III, wait for the fourth stage , its on the way
