The migration of Microsoft Exchange Server (Windows SBS) to Microsoft Exchange Server (Windows SBS) can be extremely difficult if not performed correctly. To make matters worse, if the migration fails you run the risk of damaging your Exchange Mailbox Store.
It is crucial that you backup all critical Exchange files before attempting the migration.
When you perform a migration from Microsoft Small Business Server to Microsoft Small Business Server it replicates all of your Active Directory information. For a period of time during the migration, you will have both Windows SBS and Windows SBS operating under the same domain. Both servers will provide DNS information for the clients and member servers on your local area network. One thing that the migration doesn't automatically do is migrate Exchange. This step can only be done manually and requires someone knowledgeable in Exchange migration. We offer full Exchange Server Migration Support, call for a free consultation 888-333-9340.
Some Things to Consider When Performing the Exchange Migration
1) Your router will be pointing to the old server.
2) Exchange is not configured to send external email by default. You must configure send connectors within the hub transport configuration, which is found in the Exchange Administration Console.
3) If you want to receive email from users on the Exchange Server you must setup a connector to allow the two Exchange Servers to communicate with each other.
4) Once the migration is complete you must perform additional steps prior to removing the Exchange Server.
