There is just the one Exchange server and about 60 general and user mailboxes i.e. If not, I suggest you upgrade to Exchange 2016 first then toĮxchange 2019.You could use Microsoft’s Exchange Server Deployment Assistant. Mailboxes to pst files and import them to new mailboxes in Exchange 2019 directly. If it is a small organization, you could export the Of Exchange servers and mailboxes and so on. It depends on the scale of your environment, such as the volume This is very disruptive but avoids a second server. Make sure to have a new backup system that supports Exchange 2019. Then import all the mailboxes from PST to Exchange. Remove the Exchange 2010 server from your Network and once that is done setup a new Server 2019 with Exchange 2019 with latest Cumulative Updates and Rollups. Export all the email accounts and public folders(if you have them)to PST files. You can also do tools that do it for you as wellĢ- Set a Cutover Date. Someone must have written a guide that even an amateur like myself could follow :) Migrate mailboxes and Public folders (if you have them) between the 2010 to the 2016 server." involve umpteen steps that I'm unfamiliar with. Can you possibly point me in the direction of a noddy guide for this process? My apologies but I rarely touch Exchange and I'm sure that operations like " Move the mailboxes and public folders (if you have them) from the Exchange 2016 to the new 2019 Server.Ĭheers. Then move the external access to the new Exchange 2019. Then setup a Server 2019 VM with Exchange 2019 and install latest Cumulative and Rollups updates. Once all Mailboxes have been moved, demote the Exchange 2010. Migrate mailboxes and Public folders (if you have them) between the 2010 to the 2016 server. Then setup external access to the Exchange 2016 server as or whatever FQDN you have. Then setup new connectors for sending and receiving. You can do multiple options as below:ġ- Setup a New VM with Server 2016 and install Exchange 2016 with the latest Cumulative Updates and Rollups. Set up a new Windows 2019 server with a lesser version (2013/2016) of Exchange, somehow port Exchange 2010 to that, then do an in-place upgrade to 2019?Īny step-by-step idiot-proof guide would be very welcome!īoth options are not supported and will not work. I know that you can't make the leap in one go but what advice can you offer on the best way to proceed, bearing in mind that Exchange is a bit of a black art to me?įor example, would it be best to do an in-place upgrade of Exchange 2010 to 2013/2016, leave to settle for a few weeks then set up a new Win2019 server with Exchange 2019 and somehow port the old Exchange to the new one?


One of my joyous projects for this year is to end up with Exchange 2019 running on a Windows 2019 server. I have Exchange 2010 running on a Windows 2008 server VM.
