Hi,
I have a quick question for you regarding upgrading Exchange 2007 to 2013. I know there is no actual upgrade path from 2007 to 2013 so I am looking at this from a slightly different way.
My current Exchange server is sat on a Windows 2008 x64 Enterprise Server which has 2 quad core Xeon 2ghz processors and 20Gb of RAM, the only problem it has is a shortage of space on the C Drive.
Having given several options to my boss he has agreed that a new Windows Server with Exchange 2013 is the way ahead for us but because we only have around 30 users and because I do not think the server is that bad a spec I had a different idea.
I thought that if I could migrate everything from the exchange server to another format I could then bang some bigger drives in the old server and reinstall it as 2012 and then install the new version of Exchange on this new platform.
So my question is this. Is this feasible/sensible? If so how do I go about exporting all the exchange data I need ready to import into the new version of Exchange?
I know I could go to Office 365 but at this time we do not want to do this.
Thanks for your help,
