Hi Gents
I am currently planning to upgrading one of our clients Exchange 2010 Server to Exchange 2013. I know that the simplest solution would be install exchange 2013 with CU2 and make the 2010 coexisting but below is what my limitations are
Currently - Customer is on a SBS physical server that has Exchange 2010 SP1 installed, only 30 clients at the moment.
I have already prepared a server 2012r2 vm where i will install the Exchange 2013, My question is, can i simply just install the new exchange 2013 in the new VM server, Export all the mailbox as pst from the exchange 2010 server and then import all the mailbox pst into exchange 2013?
Given that they only have 30 clients and the current server is a physical server, i don't have enough time to plan a p2v migration or upgrade current exchange 2010 to sp3 for the coexistence to work so i thought maybe exporting and importing pst will be a better solution. can someone confirm if this will work or if you have tried this method at all ?
