I would suggest you run through the Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant, as a “Belt and braces” approach to the migration”ġ.

DO NOT CONSIDER migrating anything until you know you have a good backup of your current Exchange environment.

#EXCHANGE 2010 TO 2016 MIGRATION SOFTWARE#
Anti Virus, Backup Solutions, Archiving, Mail Management, Mobile Device Software, etc, check with the software vendor.ģ. Make sure any third party Exchange software you are currently running is also supported on Exchange 2016, e.g. Warning, this will be a DVD image (over 3.5 GB), you may wish to get this downloaded from a site with a decent Internet connection!Ģ. DO NOT attempt to perform the migration with a version of Exchange 2013 media that IS NOT at least CU1.
#EXCHANGE 2010 TO 2016 MIGRATION INSTALL#
Media and Licenses: Before you start you will need to have the Exchange 2016 or 2013 CU2 (CU1 = Minimum) version of the install media (.iso or DVD). Exchange 2016/2013 Migration Step 1 “Planning / Pre Site Visit”ġ. It also gives access to more advanced ActiveSync management policies and custom retention policies.
#EXCHANGE 2010 TO 2016 MIGRATION LICENSE#
For most people these will be the CALS you need to purchase.Įnterprise CAL: Is an additional license that’s added to the Standard license, this enables the user to use archiving/journaling and unified messaging (Requires Outlook 2013). Standard CAL: Required for all users (or devices) that require access to an Exchange mailbox.

a standard CAL is required for all mailbox users or devices, adding an Enterprise CAL is only required for those existing users or devices requiring additional functionality. Note: An Enterprise CAL is NOT just for Exchange Enterprise 2016 and a Standard CAL is NOT just for Exchange Standard, this is a common mistake. These are also ‘confusingly’ called Standard and Enterprise. Exchange 2013/2016 Client Access LicensesĪs before there are two types of CAL for Exchange 2016 access. Standard: For small Exchange deployments (1-5 Mailbox Databases) and for non mailbox role servers in larger Exchange deployments.Įnterprise: For large Exchange deployments (1-50 Mailbox Databases). The Exchange 2016 (on-premises) software itself comes in two flavours, Standard and Enterprise. You may wish to look at an “Open Value Agreement”, which lets you pay the cost over a three year term. You will need to buy the Exchange 2016 Base product.
#EXCHANGE 2010 TO 2016 MIGRATION UPGRADE#
Unless you have Microsoft “Software Assurance” you cannot simply upgrade to Exchange 2016 for free. Unlike with previous versions of Exchange, the 2016/2013 approach is NOT to split up roles to different servers, it’s considered good practice to deploy all roles on all Exchange servers. Post install the NEW server will hold client access, and mailbox roles. I’m putting in Exchange 2016 onto a new server running Server 2012. In this example I’ve got a n existing Exchange 2010 environment running on Windows Server 2008 R2.

To complete a migration from Exchange 2010 (or 2007) to Exchange 2016/2013, you need to introduce Exchange 2016 into your existing Exchange environment, then migrate your content onto the new server(s), and finally remove Exchange 2010.
