We have Exchange 2010 and are migrating to Exchange 2016. During this time, I am needing to manage both 2010 and 2016 and would like to use the management tools on the same server. However, I am getting an error "Exchange Server 2016 can't be installed on a server that has an Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 role installed. For more information, visit http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.Exchange2013AnyOnExchange2010Server.aspx" when trying to install the 2016 management tools on a Windows server 2012 R2 that is used to manage our servers. This server is not used as any other Exchange roles. Is there any way to make this work?

    You will need to install on a different server or a client machine:
