Exchange 2003 migration to Exchange 2010/2013/2016/2019

Pre-migration activities

Before migration ensure source and destination Exchange environments are ready and you meet the system requirements.

  • Step 1: Prepare a clean destination Exchange environment

    Based on your Destination Exchange server version, click on the below link accordingly

    • Exchange 2010 Server setup
    • Exchange 2013 Server setup
    • Exchange 2016 Server setup
    • Exchange 2019 Server setup
  • Step 2: Create a forest trust (optional)

    Know how to create a forest trust on Windows Server 2008
    This process will most likely reveal if there are any issues, otherwise you have to fix during migration.

    Note: Creating a trust relationship is not required for SBS based environments.

  • Step 3: Configuration send and receive connectors
    • Create an SMTP Connector to Route Mail to a Specific Host
    • Managing Connectors in Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
    • Create a Send connector for email - Exchange 2013
    • Receive connectors for email - Exchange 2013
    • Create a Send connector for email - Exchange 2016 / 2019
    • Receive connectors for email - Exchange 2016 / 2019

    Note: During the Exchange server installation process default receive connector will be created

  • Step 4: Create domain and mailboxes on the target server

    Note: Before migration mailbox-enabled user accounts for each user which are included in the migration should be created on your target server.

    • You can migrate domain accounts between the Active Directory forests automatically using Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) or you can do it manually by creating the accounts on the target forest.
    • You can create mailboxes and the corresponding users automatically mapped during the mailbox mapping.
  • Step 5: Ensure that the admin account used to connect to the source server belongs to the appropriate Active Directory group and its mailbox is configured.
    • Ensure that selected account belongs to the Domain Admins group.
    • Ensure that this account has a valid, non-hidden mailbox on the source Exchange server.
  • Step 6: Confirm the Admin account configuration and rights that will be used to connect to the Source and target server
    1. Make sure the following roles are assigned to the target admin account
      • ApplicationImpersonation rights
      • View-Only Recipients rights
      • View-Only Configuration rights
      • Assigned mailboxes to the Public Folders
    2. Verify the access to the Exchange server's service using IP or Domain Name

      https://[Exchange_IP]/EWS/Exchange.asmx or

      https://[Exchange_Name]/EWS/Exchange.asmx

    3. If a client connects from outside the local network then client required to have external URL configured correctly:
      • Open the Exchange Management Shell on the target or source server and verify if the ExternalUrl is defined:
        Command: Copy & Paste it on PowerShell

        Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl

      • If there's no address in the ExternalUrl line it needs to be defined. Execute the following script:
        Command: Copy & Paste it on PowerShell

        Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl https://[Target server's internet name]/EWS/Exchange.asmx

  • Step 7: Configure the maximum size limit of sent mail and throttling settings
    • To speed up the migration process, change the throttling settings on target Exchange.
    • To allow migration of big items, change message size limits on target Exchange.
  • Step 8: Install EdbMails Exchange Migration
