Migrate from EV12.4 to EV14.4
Hi,
We try to upgrade Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2016, and in meanwhile migrate EV12.4 to EV14.4 with new OS and MSSQL server. In-place upgrade is not an option for us as there are risks to lose data (4TB size). We currently only do mailbox archive, no journal archiving or files archive.
I would like to know can we:
1. Install a new EV14.4 site and link it to Exchange 2016;
2. Migrate 1 user mailbox from EX13 to EX16;
3. Use "Moving Archives" function move archive from EV12 to EV14;
4. Repeat all steps until we done the migration.
On the other hand, I read the document and it indicates that we cannot use "Moving Archives" for "Closed Archives". We do have 3 partition in same group, 2 are closed and 1 is currently open. So it means we can't use "Moving Archives"?
Please kindly advise, we do need a suggestion here, thank you so much!
Below is our target:
From EV12.4:
- OS: Win 2012 R2
- MSSQL: 2012
To EV14.4
- OS: Win 2019
- MSSQL: 2019
