- 7. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Disclaimer Anything I say only applies to Exchange 2016 in its current form (October 27, 2015). Given the high-paced rate of change (updates) to Exchange and Office 365, some elements from this presentation are likely to change and look different in the (near) future.

- 9. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Exchange 2016 or not? • If you are running Exchange 2010, upgrading to Exchange 2016 makes a lot of sense. • If you are running Exchange 2013, upgrading to Exchange 2016 is nice, but not really necessary. Unless… …which aren’t available yet! … you want to take advantage of some really cool new collaboration features…
- 10. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Know before you go! You cannot mix and match Exchange 2013/2016 mailbox servers in a single DAG Outlook 2007 is NOT supported You cannot migrate from Exchange 2003 (shame on you!) or Exchange 2007; double-hop is required then.
- 11. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Prerequisites Active Directory: Windows Server 2008 (or higher) Domain Functional Level / Forest Functional Level Windows Server 2012 (or higher) .NET Framework 4.5.2 Unified Communication Management API 4.0 OS-level requirements
- 12. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Coexistence Server-side • Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3 Update-Rollup 11 • Exchange 2013 Cumulative Update 10 Client-Side • Outlook 2010 Service Pack 2 (or higher) • Outlook for Mac 2011 (or higher)
- 13. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Planning • Exchange 2016 Role Requirements calculator (recently updated) • Exchange 2016 Preferred Architecture • Exchange Deployment Assistant (aka.ms/exdeploy)
- 14. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Preferred Architecture • Unbound namespace model • Namespace per “protocol” (HTTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP) • Load balancing w/ equal distribution across datacenters (ie DNS RR) • Physical Servers • Two Office Servers per DC (when available, of course)
- 15. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T ‘NEW’ Recommendations • Enable Bitlocker for disk encryption; protect against data theft (physical disk) • Data Volumes should use ReFS (w/ data integrity features disabled) • Interesting article by Exchange MVP Michel de Rooij on ReFS performance vs. NTFS
- 16. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Exchange 2010 Interoperability Down-level proxying only! (or redirect) Ex2016 MBX Ex2010 CAS Site A Site B Ex2010 CAS

- 21. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Load Balancing • No specific load-balancing requirements; can use Layer 4 or Layer 7 load balancing (same as Exchange 2013) • If you use a load balancer, use it smart • Leverage Managed Availability where possible (healthcheck.htm) • Delayed start to avoid servers being overrun when added to the “pool”
- 22. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Pre-deployment tasks • Configure Exchange 2010 Outlook Anywhere; include NTLM on the IIS Authentication Methods • Define existing OAB on existing DBs prior to installing Exchange 2016 to avoid all clients downloading new default OAB (Ex2016/2013 create new default OAB as part of setup) • Re-run Edge subscriptions (if any)
- 23. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Installing Exchange 2016 • Setup is pretty straightforward… but do not forget to /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms ;-) 1 2 Install Prerequisites. Reboot. • Consider using Exchange Server MVP Michel de Rooij’s Unattended Installation script • Consider using a ‘staging AD site’ to avoid interference with operations; if not – configure/remove SCP right after installation! Install Exchange 2016 (GUI or CLI). Reboot. High-Level process:
- 24. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Cutting over to Exchange 2016 • The process of “switching” over to Exchange 2016 is different, depending on what version of Exchange you are migrating from. • You can switch over mail flow (SMTP) at any time during/after the migration; • Typically done when 50% (or more) of the users are migrated
- 25. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Post-Installation tasks • Do not to configure Autodiscover/set the SCP to avoid cert pop-ups etc… • Move system mailbox from legacy version to 2016 to allow the following to work properly: • Admin Audit Logging • eDiscovery Searches • New 2016 functionality
- 26. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Hybrid
- 27. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Should you upgrade? Exchange Version? Use Exchange 2013 or 2016 HCW Migration only or Coexistence? Do you need new features? Really? Use Exchange 2010 HCW 2010 2013/2016 CoexistenceMigration No No Yes Yes
- 28. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Exchange 2016 Hybrid • The ‘new’ Hybrid Configuration Wizard offers Microsoft more flexibility; you are always running the latest version • Must be run from an Exchange 2016 server; • Downloads components onto the server from configure.office.com
- 29. A W A R D W I N N I N G E X C H A N G E M A N A G E M E N T Hybrid namespace? Office365 Autodiscover hybrid.domain.com Ex2016 Ex2010 • Not supported…! • Chances are you will switch over in the future anyway • Added complexity = higher change to failure/issues!
