Support Discontinued • Extended support ended 4/8/2014
Typical Migration Pains • Client Issues • Migration Issues
Client Issues Outlook 2013 is not supported on Exchange 2003 Outlook Outlook 2003 is not supported on Exchange 2013 Client licensing considerations
Client Issues Outlook Redirection Devices that use EWS not honoring the legacy redirect to Exchange 2003 from 2010 EAS redirection issues primarily Android devices
Client Issues Outlook may not work correctly where customers are using WAN accelerators that do not support newer versions of Exchange Pitfalls Server side rules can become corrupt forcing users to recreate them 3rd party client based plugins. All plugins will need thorough testing due to server side design changes
Migration Issues Cross forest migration can be painful from the amount of administrative effort involved utilizing native Exchange tools
Migration Issues Users are disconnected during migration Mailbox Migration Issues Extremely large mailboxes either in size or item count will NOT migrate without remediation
Migration Issues Double hop migration to 2010 or 2007 first then to 2013 Migration Options Resource forest with linked mailboxes Office 365
Migration Issues Migration to 2010 better support than migration to 2013 Public Folders Scripting languages to perform workflows no longer supported as they were in 2003 Many organizations prefer traditional PF management as opposed to current
Migration Issues During migration verifying logs are truncated utilizing properly configured backup solution or circular logging Pitfalls Migrating application relay. Often devices and applications are configured to send mail to the IP or name of a single Exchange server, and that server will eventually be decommissioned
Functionality No Longer Supported • MAPI • Address Rewrites • 3rd Party Application Integration
