What you need to know about Exchange 2013 and Office 365

Microsoft has announced that Exchange Server 2013 will reach the end of support on April 11, 2023. This means that after this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, non-security hotfixes, or online technical content updates for Exchange Server 2013. It is important to note that the end of support for Exchange Server 2013 does not mean that the server will stop functioning. However, without security updates, the server may become more vulnerable to security threats and other issues. In addition to the Exchange server, you must also consider the SharePoint server 2013, Project, Lync server and Office 2013 client upgrade.

I. Exchange 2013 to Office 365 migration prerequisites

  • Step 1: Decide on the Exchange to Office 365 migration approach

    The first step is to plan how you want to migrate to Office 365 from Exchange 2013. The following migration paths are available depending on your source and target environment.

    Current environment and migration requirementIdeal migration approachMigration flow
    You want to move all of your email, calendar, and contacts from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange Online in a single batch.Exchange cutover migrationIn this approach, you set up your target Office 365 tenant and migrate everything to the cloud in a single sitting. Suited for large mailbox migration
    You want to move mailboxes from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange Online in smaller batches or over the weekendsStaged Exchange migrationIn this approach, you migrate your mailboxes and mail data in stages and transfer the most recent data first, followed by the others.
    You want to move to Office 365 gradually and you have specific requirements on-premise that are not supported in Exchange Online.Hybrid migrationIn this approach, you migrate from Exchange 2013 to a Hybrid deployment of both the Exchange Server and Office 365.
    You want to retain on-premises Exchange due to regulatory requirementsExchange migration
    1. Migrate from Exchange 2013 to 2019
    2. Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2016 migration

     Use the Microsoft 365 mail migration advisor to determine the best migration path for your organization based on your specific needs and requirements.

  • Step 2: Check the bandwidth and network requirements

    Ensure that you meet the network and bandwidth requirements for the migration. This factor depends on the size and the amount of data that you want to migrate.

    As a general rule, you should allow for at least 1.5 times the size of your mailbox data to account for overhead.

    For example, if your mailbox data is 50 GB in size, you should allow for at least 75 GB of bandwidth to handle the data transfer. Keep in mind that this is just a general guideline and your specific requirements may be different based on the size and complexity of your organization.

    If you have a firewall or proxy server in place, ensure that it is configured to allow the necessary traffic between your Exchange Server 2013 environment and Office 365. You can also test your existing network with Microsoft tools.

     See network and migration planning, performance factors and best practices for Microsoft 365 migration.

  • Step 3: Determine the Microsoft 365 license plan suited to your needs

    Microsoft 365 is available as a cloud-based subscription service or as a one-time purchase of a perpetual license. Office 365 has business and enterprise plans, each suited to different user requirements. Compare Office 365 business plans and compare Office 365 enterprise plans from these links. You can choose an Office 365 licensing plan specific to your needs or sign up for a 30 day free trial and decide to go with a suitable one later.

  • Step 4: Set up your target Office 365 tenant for the migration

    Plan for your tenant implementation and deploy your tenant. See tenant roadmap for Microsoft 365. If you plan to install Office apps on your computer, see system requirements for Microsoft 365 and Office configuration support matrix. Because Office 365 is a cloud based solution, it is important to learn where your Microsoft 365 customer data is stored.

  • Step 5: Add and verify the custom domain on Office 365

    If you have a custom email domain from your hosting provider to which you want to migrate and receive emails, you must add and verify the domain on Office 365. This will enable you to use your own domain name (such as example.com) for your email addresses and other Office 365 services.

    To set up your custom domain, follow these steps:

    1. Verify that you own the domain by adding a TXT record to your DNS configuration.
    2. Add a new domain to your Office 365 tenant.
    3. Update your DNS records to point to Office 365.

     Steps to add a custom domain to Office 365 and steps to add DNS records to connect your domain.

  • Step 6: Create mailboxes and mail-enabled Public folders

    Before you migrate to Office 365, ensure that you create mailboxes for your users in your organization and assign suitable licenses to them. If you need to create multiple user accounts at once, you can use the "Bulk add users" option to create user accounts in bulk using a CSV file.

    1. Add users and assign licenses to Office 365 users
    2. Add several users at the same time to Office 365
    3. Assign Microsoft 365 licenses to user accounts

    For Exchange 2013 to Office 365 Public folder migration, ensure that you create and configure the Public folder mailboxes and make them mail enabled on the target server.

    1. Create Office 365 Public folder and assign mailbox user
    2. Enable In-Place Archive mailboxes in Office 365
  • Step 7: Set the impersonation role on the source to the admin user

    Ensure that you set the following permissions to the admin account on the source and target server and that the mailboxes you migrate are not hidden from the address lists.

    1. On the source
      1. ApplicationImpersonation
      2. View-Only Configuration - Run the cmdlet New-ManagementRoleAssignment using the Exchange Management Shell to assign the View-Only Configuration role to the admin.
    2. On the target
      1. ApplicationImpersonation

    Setting impersonation rights in Office 365 is a simple process that can be done quickly and easily using the Admin Center. Assign the Organization Management role group to the admin user in Exchange online. It is an elevated permission that is required to migrate Public folders.

  • Step 8: Verify the mailbox of the admin account

    Check to see if the admin account that has been assigned management roles has a valid and non-hidden mailbox on the Exchange 2013 server. See how to configure user mailbox properties for the users from the Exchange admin center (EAC).

  • Step 9: Configure Office 365 to send and receive large messages

     Follow the steps to increase the message size on Office 365 to 150MB.

II. Migrate Exchange 2013 to Office 365

After you complete the pre-migration activities, use EdbMails Exchange migration tool to migrate your mailboxes to Office 365.

 Tip: EdbMails simplifies the process of migrating data from an Exchange Server to another Exchange Server, Office 365, or other email systems. It supports various migration scenarios, including cutover, staged, IMAP, and hybrid migration, and allows you to migrate in a single hop.

There are several methods to migrate Exchange 2013 to Microsoft 365

  1. Migrate mailboxes to Office 365 using the Cutover method
  2. Hybrid Exchange 2013 migration to Office 365
  3. Exchange 2013 mailbox migration with EDB file
  4. Import Exchange mailboxes to Office 365 with PST files
  • Method 1: Migrate Exchange 2013 to Office 365 using the cutover method

    This method involves moving all of your mailboxes from Exchange Server 2013 to Office 365 in a single migration event. When you use EdbMails for cutover migration, you do not have to worry about the mailbox or data size limitations.

    • Step 1: Download and install EdbMails on your Exchange 2013 server.

      Download EdbMails and install the application on any computer that is connected to the source and target environment. You can also perform the migration operation by installing EdbMails on a non-Exchange server computer such as Windows 7, 8 10 or 11.

       See a detailed list of EdbMails system requirements for Exchange migration.

      Launch the application and click 'Login' or 'Start Your Free Trial'.

      Demo login EdbMails

    • Step 2: Run EdbMails and click the Live Exchange migration option

      This migration option enables you to perform Microsoft Exchange to Office 365 migration

      Select Exchange Migration

      Note: If you are migrating a folder with a non-English name, such as "Boîte de réception" in French, from the source server to the target server, it may not be automatically mapped to the corresponding folder on the target server.

      For Instance: The French "Boîte de réception" folder may not be mapped to the English "Inbox" folder on the target server.

      To fix this issue, change the regional settings on the target server to match the language of the source mailbox folder. For example, if the source mailbox folder is in French, you will need to change the regional settings on the target Office 365 server to French. This ensures that the folder is properly mapped to the corresponding folder on the target server.

    • Step 3: Connect to the source Exchange 2013 server admin account

      In the Connect to Exchange server (Source) window, select the 'Connect using Global Admin User' option. With EdbMails, you can migrate mailboxes, public folders, and archive mailboxes from Exchange to Office 365.

      You can also load the mailboxes using a CSV file. See instructions on how to use the different Exchange server connection methods supported by EdbMails.

      Source Exchange Server Conection

       Tip: For the Exchange to Office 365 migration, you can use the autodiscover feature in EdbMails if you do not remember the Exchange server name or IP address. With autodiscover, you can directly specify your username and password and connect to your Exchange server account without the need for manual configuration.

    • Step 4: Select the Exchange mailboxes to migrate to Office 365

      Select the mailboxes and folders from the Exchange server that you want to migrate to Office 365.

       Tip: If this is the first time you’re migrating with EdbMails, the migration is a full migration. On subsequent migrations from the same source to the target, the migration is incremental. If you have duplicate items such as emails, contacts, calendars in your Exchange 2013 mailboxes, you can use EdbMails duplicate email remover to scan and remove them before the migration.

      Click 'Migrate to Office 365' to setup the connection with the target server

      Export Selected Mailboxes

       Tip: EdbMails has a range of filter options to help you customize your migration task.

      1. Additional Include and Exclude Filter Options: You can use these options to specify which items should be included or excluded from the migration process. For example, you can exclude certain emails or folders from the migration based on their content.
      2. Filter emails by Date: This option enables you to migrate only emails that fall within a specified date range, which can be useful if you only want to migrate recent emails or emails from a specific period of time.
      3. Filter emails by Size: This option enables you to exclude emails from the migration if they are larger than a specified size, which is useful if you want to exclude large emails and attachments from the migration process.
    • Step 5: Sign in to your Office 365 account as Global Admin

      EdbMails supports both modern and classic authentication methods and provides a range of options for connecting to the target server, which can be useful for different migration scenarios and requirements.

      • Select the Auto registration for modern authentication
      • Choose the connection method that you want to use, such as Mailboxes, Public folder, or Archive Mailbox.

       Connect to Office 365 server using secure modern authentication

      Automatic Registration

       Tip: The mailbox mapping feature can match and map the mailboxes and folders between Exchange and Office 365, which saves time and effort when migrating a large number of mailboxes.

    • Step 6: Start the migration from Exchange 2013 to O365

      After you have completed the mailbox mapping process, start and monitor the migration. When the operation is complete, you can use the EdbMails text-based log report to verify the count of migrated emails, folders, and mailbox items.

      Start the migration to Exchange 2019

  • Method 2: Exchange 2013 Hybrid migration to Office 365

    Hybrid migration is a method in which Exchange and Office 365 mailboxes coexist in the same Active Directory (AD) environment. This approach involves setting up a hybrid deployment, which enables you to move some of your mailboxes to Office 365 while keeping others on-premises.

     See the Hybrid migration prerequisites and follow these steps to prepare for a hybrid migration from Exchange Server 2013 to Office 365.

    • Install the latest version of the Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update on your on-premises servers.
    • Set up and install Exchange 2016 or 2019 in the target environment.
    • Install and use the Azure AD Connect tool in the target on-premises environment to set up the hybrid deployment. The Azure AD Connect enables you to set up a connection between your on-premises Exchange Server environment and Office 365.
    • Install at least one instance of Mailbox and Client Access server roles installed on Exchange 2013,
    • Update any Edge Transport servers to the latest CU.
    • Register any custom domains you want to use in the Hybrid with Office 365

    After you have completed the necessary prerequisites, use the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) to configure the hybrid deployment.

     Tip: By using EdbMails, you can completely migrate Exchange 2013 mailboxes and Public folders to an Office 365 Hybrid environment.

     See the planning strategy and steps to perform Exchange 2013 migration to Office 365 hybrid.

  • Method 3: Migrate Exchange 2013 to Exchange online with EDB file

    Another way to migrate data from Exchange 2013 to Office 365 is with an EDB file. If you have an EDB file from Exchange Server 2013, you can use EdbMails to migrate the EDB file to Office 365. This method can be useful if your Exchange server is inaccessible or if you have a corrupted EDB file that you want to migrate without using PowerShell cmdlets.

    • Step 1: Select the migration technique as EDB to Office 365

      Install EdbMails on your computer and start the application. On the main screen, select the migration technique as 'EDB to Office 365, EDB to Exchange, EDB Public folder'.

      EDB to PST, EDB to Office 365 & Exchange

    • Step 2: Add the Exchange 2013 EDB file to migrate to Office 365

      EdbMails can recover an Exchange 2013 from disaster and as well as recover any deleted emails and other mail items from the EDB file. It also enables you to preview various types of mail items. Click 'Browse for EDB' and select the file from your computer that contains the mailboxes.

      Select EDB file

    • Step 3: Select the mailboxes and click Migrate to Office 365

      Select the desired folders, mail items, and mailboxes to migrate the target and choose the Office 365 migration option as shown.

      Migrate to Office 365

      • Select the Auto Registration to connect to the target Office 365 server.
      • Choose one of the mailbox migration methods.
      • Map the folders and mailboxes between the source and target.

      Connect to Office 365

    • Step 4: Start the Exchange 2013 to Office 365 mailbox migration

      Finally, start the migration and verify the count of migrated items, folders, emails with the EdbMails comprehensive log report. The application also enables you to pause and resume the migration anytime.

  • Method 4: Exchange 2013 to Office 365 migration with PST files

    This method involves exporting your Exchange 2013 mailbox data to PST files and then importing the PST files into Office 365 with EdbMails. Download and run EdbMails if it hasn't already been installed on your system. The following steps outline how to migrate PST files from Exchange to Office 365.

    • Step 1: Select the Office 365 migration technique

      On the EdbMails migration selection popup, select the migration method as 'Office 365 migration (Tenant to tenant migration & more…)'

      Office 365 Migration

    • Step 2: Add the Exchange 2013 PST files to migrate to Office 365

      To add the PST files, close the Connect to Office 365 (Source) connection window and follow the steps from 1 to 3 in the screenshot to migrate the PST file to Office 365.

      Migrate PST to Live Exchange

    • Step 3: Connect to the target Office 365 tenant as Global Admin

      EdbMails supports both modern and classic authentication. Connect to the target server by selecting Auto or Manual registration for modern authentication and the connection method as Mailboxes, Public folder or Archive Mailbox.

       Connect to Office 365 server using secure modern authentication

    • Step 4: Migrate the mailboxes from the PST files to Office 365

      EdbMails can automatically match the mailboxes and folders. Start and monitor the Office 365 migration progress. Finally, verify the count of migrated emails, folders, and mailbox items with EdbMails text-based log report.

III. Exchange 2013 post-migration tasks

Here are some post-migration tasks that you may want to consider after migrating Exchange 2013 to Office 365

  • Step 1: Verify the migration

    After the migration is complete, it is important to verify that all of the mailbox data has been successfully migrated to Office 365. You can use the EdbMails log report to check the count of migrated emails, folders, and mailbox items.

  • Step 2: Update the MX records to point to Office 365

    If you have not performed this step previously, change the DNS records known as MX records to to receive messages on Office 365 and enable email to work with the new server you have migrated to. In addition, configure the Autodiscover record to allow Outlook to connect to the migrated mailboxes.

  • Step 3: Create a new Outlook profile for users in the new domain

    Ensure you have the latest version of Outlook installed to avoid compatibility issues. If you are using an email client such as Thunderbird, update the settings to point to the Office 365 mail servers. Configure the Outlook profile for each user in your domain if Outlook has problems connecting to Office 365 mailboxes.

  • Step 4: Test email connectivity and perform a backup

    It is important to test the email connectivity after the migration to ensure that you are able to send and receive emails correctly. Take a complete backup of your Office 365 mailbox data to ensure that you have a copy in case of any unexpected issues.

  • Step 5: Decommission and uninstall Exchange server 2013

    Wait a few days and check to see if you are receiving emails correctly and that everything is working as expected. Finally, decommission the source Exchange server.

    1. Remove the Exchange server from the load balancer: If your Exchange 2013 server is part of a load-balanced environment, you must remove it from the load balancer to prevent it from receiving new connections.
    2. Remove the Exchange server from the Exchange organization: After you remove the Exchange server from the load balancer, remove it from the Exchange organization. To do this, use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell.
    3. Uninstall Exchange 2013: Next, uninstall the Exchange server from the Add/Remove Programs feature in Windows or the Exchange Setup program.
    4. Remove the server from Active Directory: Finally, remove the server from Active Directory to completely decommission it. To do this, you can use the Active Directory Users and Computers tool or the Active Directory Sites and Services tool.

     Follow the instructions provided on Microsoft's website to learn how to decommission Exchange Server 2013. See the list of post migration tasks after you finish the Office 365 migration.
