BEX 12.5 upgrade to 2012

[lcross]

Does 2012 support exchange 2010? And if so, how do I go about upgrading my current 12.5 to 2010? I have a new 2010 exchange server that the transaction logs are filling fast and I'm in dire need of assistance...

Hi,

Yes it does. You can follow the TNs below to upgrade:

All things considered, stop your BE services and grab a copy of your Data and Catalogs folders before doing your upgrade. This will ensure you can recover if need be if there is an issue during the upgrade.

Once done, run LiveUpdate to install SP1a and then run it again to install any additional patches. Then push-install these to any remote servers you might have.

Thanks!
