I did something like this awhile back. I created a 2003 Exchange site server (different name) running concurrent with the 2000 Exchange server. Then I was able to move about about 180 mailboxes at night to the new server when no one was accessing their mail. This took many nights. When that was done I removed the 2000 Exchange server from the domain. It was seemless.

When you move a mailbox from one location to another, the mailbox currently being moved is unavailable to the user.

If you really want to eliminate all possibility of users accessing their mailboxes, remove both servers from the network and connect them to each other with a crossover cable.
