Hello All,
I need a bit of help. I took over a network that was running Small Business Server 2008 with Exchange installed. I bought a new Dell and virtualized three servers. One of my virtual servers has Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013. After I installed Exchange 2013, I went to migrate some mailboxes from the Exchange 2007 machine (SBS). When I did, the test mailboxes moved but would not open in outlook. The mailboxes that I need to move are huge and the test box wasn't.
I contacted Microsoft and we could not figure it out. So I just left all the mailboxes on the SBS Exchange 2007 system. I would like to remove the .VHD that has Exchange 2013 on it. I am going to virtualize the SBS and then reformat the server that the SBS resides on. I would then like to install 2012 R2 and Exchange 2007 on that server to migrate the mailboxes and kill the SBS virtual server.
First - Is this even possible?
Second - Can I kill the Exchange 2013 .vhd without any issues?
I don't know if Exchange 2013 has been improved and I should try it again but I am a bit gun shy now. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Will
