No they won't, what you need is called the Remote Server Administration Tools for 7, which will work fine with a 2003 domain.
Exchange tools will be a pain in the ass if you're using anything older than Exchange 2007 though, but there is a way to make the Vista Exchange 2003 tools work with 7, at least on 32bit. Not sure about 64.
