- Install Exchange 2016 CU19 in SCEXCH05 Mailbox role
- Install the required SSL certificate on the new Exchange 2016 server
- Configure virtual directory on the new Exchange 2016 server
- Configure Exchange 2013 – 2016 CAS coexistence
- Replicate all Databases copies in the new Exchange 2016 server
- Repeat the same step for another server « SCEXCH06 »
- Remove all Database copy on SCEXCH03 and SCEXCH04
- Delete Exchange 2013 DAG
- Create a new Exchange 2016 DAG (between SCEXCH05 and SCEXCH06)
- Replicate all Database on SCEXCH06
- Uninstall exchange server from SCEXCH03 and SCEXCH04

Clients:
Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016 requires the latest service pack and the latest public update.

Exchange server 2016 System requirements:


Supported coexistence scenarios for Exchange 2016:
Supported with Exchange 2013 Cumulative Update 10 or later on all Exchange 2013 servers in
the organization, including Edge Transport servers.

Network and directory server requirements for Exchange 2016:


• Domain controllers: Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.
• Active Directory forest: The Active Directory forest functional level is Windows Server 2008 R2
or higher.
• Active Directory Site: The Active Directory site where you install the Exchange Server must
contain at least one writeable domain controller that's also a global catalog server, or the
installation will fail.

• DNS namespace: Exchange 2016 supports: Contiguous, Noncontiguous, Single label domains,
Disjoint domain name system namespaces.

Supported operating systems for Exchange 2016


We don't support the installation of Exchange 2016 on a computer that's running Windows
Server Core or Nano Server.

Microsoft .NET Framework:


.NET Framework 4.8 version.

Exchange Server prerequisites:


• Verify the computer is joined to the appropriate internal Active Directory domain.
• Install the latest Windows updates on your computer.
• .NET Framework 4.8
• Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2012
• Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013
• Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit

2. Prepare Active Directory and domains for Exchange Server:


Exchange uses Active Directory to store information about mailboxes and the configuration of
Exchange servers in the organization. Before you install Exchange Server 2016 or Exchange

2
Server 2019 (even if you have earlier versions of Exchange installed in your organization), we
need to prepare our Active Directory forest and its domains for the new version of Exchange.
Step 1: Extend the Active Directory schema
D:\Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareSchema

Step 2: Prepare Active Directory:


D:\Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareAD
NB: As in Step 1, you'll need to wait while Active Directory replicates the changes from this step to all of your
domain controllers before you proceed, and you can use the repadmin tool to check the progress of the
replication.

Step 3: Prepare Active Directory domains:

D:\Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareDomain
