SBS 2011 Standard to Windows Server 2019 - Guide step 16

It's taken me a while to get migrated to Step 16 in the guide but I've managed to remove Exchange from the server after successfully getting onto Office365. My question is with me starting step 16 - and then completing the 17,18, and 19 without any delays. How quickly do I need to do these four steps - 1 day, 2 days or 4 or more...and why? Sorry to ask, I'm doing the migration during the evenings when I'm able to concentrate on the process without distractions.

Outlook Anywhere Script

i can't find your instructions for changing the scripts for Outlook Anywhere after migration from SBS 2011/exchange 2010 to Office 365. I know they are there, but i can't find them.

File Migration

Mariette Is there any reason why you use (recommend) robocopy and not DFRS to move files and folders to new server? JOE

SBS2008 with Exchange 2007 migration to Server 2016 with Essentials Experience and Server 2016 with Exchange 2016

I understand that Exchange 2016 does not support migration from legacy Exchange 2003/2007 and that I should migrate first to Exchange 2013 and then to 2016.

Delete computer backups

How can I remove unwanted computer backups created by 2016 Essentials? I don't have enough disks space to store computer backups but before I could disable one of the computers, it backed up using 40+ GB of needed space. I removed the backup using the Dashboard for this computer and selected to have the backup files deleted. The files still appear. Will they be removed by a scheduled process or do I need to remove them? If so, how can I do this? Many thanks. --Art

Exchange offline during migration from EX2010 to EX2016??

Migrate Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange Server 2016 in a SBS 2003 migration scenario Hello, During this migration, are the Exchange Servers offline or unreachable for the users at any time? Can I do this migration on the fly? We only have 10 mailboxes, and if the servers were unavailable for an hour or so, that would not be a problem. I just want to know if that's the case and at which point. Thanks, Thomas

I am following the guide to migrate from SBS 2011 to Windows Server 2016 and am stuck at the second step which is Migrate FRS to DFSR replication in SBS 2011.  It has been over 2 hours and when I enter the command  dfsrmig /getmigrationstate i always get "migration has not yet reached a consistent state on all Domain Controllers. State information might be stale due to AD latency." Is this normal? Should I continue to wait?

SBS2011 to Win Server 2019 Standard Direct Migration (-Exchange) : Physical Hardware vs Virtualise 2019?

hi, there seems mixed opinions on whether to virtualise server 2019 for a migration or use new physical hardware. we have a new dell server with 2019 ready for the migration as most of the opinions seem to suggest this is the more stable route - especially when the server is also a heavy duty file server, 10gb fibre connection, dhcp, dns server, vpn, remote access, firewall and a few other services. any advice or opinions on this would be appreciated before we proceed with the migration guide...

best alternate robocopy switches to mitigate risk of source file deletions

I remember in past years migrations that using the /mir switch with Robocopy was generally not recommended due to the fact that if files are removed in the destination directory, they'll also be removed in the source directory.  I was only bitten by that once in actual practice. I am wondering what switches are currently best practice to use instead to get the same content copied but remove the risk of a deletion on destination propagating back to the source folder.
