I am migrating of ES2010 to ES2016 during a migration of SBS2011 to Server 2016. I would like to know if I can start and finish the migration of Exchange Server before I do any of the SBS migration. I will be migrating to a virtual server running Exchange 2016. If so does it change any of the directions in your instructions?
Thanks,
Rick Cowperthwaite
