Hello Satheshwaran,
We are using Exchange 2010 sp2 hosting mode. As our client started facing many issue with it like (while use OWA attachment pop up etc does not work)
Now we would like to migrate our exchange server to latest version of Exchange 2016.
Does 2016 support hosting mode. Is it possible to migrate 2010 to 2016 ?
No It doesn’t support hosting mode. But we have many white papers regarding migration. Complex one though
Hi Satheshwaran,,
Do you have documentation on migrating from Exchange 2010 Hosting to Exchange 2013 hosting mode?
