Exchange SE migration
Review topology and version compatibility; migrate to Exchange SE through an upgrade or migration scenario that Microsoft supports.
We plan your migration from unsupported Exchange versions to Exchange Server SE, Exchange Online or a hybrid environment step by step, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Explore the detailsExchange 2010 and 2013 have long been out of support. Extended support for Exchange 2016 and 2019 also ended on 14 October 2025. Email servers without security updates are exposed to attacks and compliance issues.
The path to Exchange SE depends on your current version and update level. In the scenarios Microsoft supports, Exchange 2019 CU14 and CU15 servers can be upgraded to Exchange SE in place.
Exchange 2016 CU23 environments move by installing new Exchange SE servers and migrating mailboxes. Older update levels are first brought to a supported level, and we choose the right path after reviewing your environment.
Migration involves more than moving mailboxes. We address Active Directory integration, data integrity, security policies and compatibility together, choosing Exchange SE, Exchange Online or a hybrid target architecture for your needs.
