Migrate SBS 2011 Standard to Server 2016 standard including exchange server 2010

Hi There,

we are going to migrate SBS 2011 Std to Server 2016 Std and exchange server 2010 to exchange server 2016. So, we set up two servers 2016 std, one for DC and the other one for exchange 2016. Which documents should I refer to? When can i migrate exchange server? in which step?

Many Thanks

Charlie

It seems that the installation of Exchange Server 2010 SP3 caused some problems. After fixing those in a Teamviewer session with Charlie he was able to continue the migration. The solution was to copy the web.config from the OWA virtual directory from a working SBS 2011 with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 to the server that was failing. After doing this all was working again.

    The two guides can be found here Migration guides for Windows Server 2012 or 2016 Essentials:


    The guide shows you to migrate Exchange at chapter 12 but you can also start with the Exchange migration after chapter 1. Remember that after the Exchange migration is complete you should also uninstall Exchange 2010 from the old SBS 2011. This will clean up AD and prevent possible issues with Outlook clients in your network. Uninstalling Exchange Server 2010 from the SBS takes the SBS apart as an integrated suite and the SBS dashboard will start to fail.

    Thanks Mariette, OK i will start migrate exchange next to chapter 12. in this case, do i need export PST files from exchange 2010?

    Exporting to pst files is not needed if you are going to migrate.

    Thanks Again Mariette.

    following question is:

    in chapter 10: Join computers to new server 2016, our workstations are all windows 7 pro 32 bit (based on some special software are not compatible with 64 bit OS or higher than windows 7). will the connector work for windows 7 pro 32 bit?

    Yes, as far as we know now Windows 7 is supported but remember that it is a good idea to upgrade to Windows 10 as soon as you can.

    Thanks Mariette.

    Yes, as soon as we finished server migration, we will do the software upgrade, then Win 10 upgrade.

    It seems that there are leftovers from a previous migration from something to Exchange Server 2010. The server has multiple Exchange organizations listed and we need to clean up that first. We will continue on Teamviewer tomorrow.
