Move Mailboxes from Exchange 2007 Servers to Exchange 2010 Servers

  • Article

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Moving mailboxes from Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 (SP3) to Exchange Server 2010? Consider the following:

  • The move process is performed online, and end-users will be able to access their mailboxes during the move.

  • You can't move mailboxes from Exchange 2007 SP1 or earlier. The source Mailbox server must be running Exchange 2007 SP3.

  • Perform the move from a server running Exchange 2010 by using the Exchange Management Console or the move request cmdlets in the Exchange Management Shell. You can't use the Move-Mailbox cmdlets in Exchange 2007 to move mailboxes to Exchange 2010 servers.
