I am in a situation where we were originally going to migrate from an SBS 2008 server to a Server 2016 domain running Exchange 2016 on a Windows Server 2016 VM. The client desires us to do a "rip and replace" onto a new domain with no migration. I am aware that CU4 is needed to allow Exchange 2016 to be installed on a Windows Server 2016.
I reviewed your tutorial "How to migrate Exchange Server 2010 from SBS 2011 to a new Exchange Server 2016 on Windows Server 2016" and it is very thorough. I noticed that a lot of the later steps are focused on the migration process.
I would just like to install Exchange 2016 from scratch. Would you feel confident in recommending that same tutorial to guide me in doing such an installation, leaving out the steps where we import pieces of the Exchange 2010 from SBS?
Hello Randall,
Yes, the guide you mentioned is used for a migration but this one How to install Exchange Server 2016 in existing Windows Server Essentials 2016 network can be used for what you want to accomplish.
