Question

_{Monday, May 11, 2020 8:40 PM}

Hello all,

I currently have Exchange 2013 and 2019 coexisting together but I need to make the Exchange 2019 the default server.  So how I will do that?

Any help please?

Thanks,

Harold

Hi Hestrada,

Based on my kownledge, here are some suggestions for you reference:

1. Set the Service Connection Point to point the user to the current server by run:

Set-ClientAccessService -Identity <> -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri

2. Import the Certificates to the new server

3. Set the URL for Outlook Anywhere, OWA, ECP, Web Services, ActiveSync, Offline Address Book and MAPI in               Exchange server 2019.

Set-OutlookAnywhere -InternalHostname <> -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Ntlm -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true -ExternalHostname <> -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $true -IISAuthenticationMethods Negotiate,NTLM,Basic

Get-EcpVirtualDirectory -Server <> | Set-EcpVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl <> -ExternalUrl <>

Get-OwaVirtualDirectory -Server <>| Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl <> -ExternalUrl <>

Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Server <> | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl <> -ExternalUrl <>

Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Server<> | Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl<> -ExternalUrl <>

Get-OabVirtualDirectory -Server <> | Set-OabVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl <> -ExternalUrl <>

Get-MapiVirtualDirectory -Server <> | Set-MapiVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl <> -ExternalUrl <>

4. Recycle the MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool in Application Pools.

5. We should set the DNS records point to the Exchange 2019 server. Autodiscover point to Exchange 2019 server.

6. Move mailbox to another server. On Exchange Admin Center, click the recipient, click the migration and select Move  to a different database.

By default it will change to the new server and we would need to stop users from connecting to the new server for now due to issues with certificates as the default with the installation is a self-signed one. This can be changed by running the PowerShell cmdlet Set-ClientAccessService –Identity ExchangeServer2013 –AutoDiscoverServiceInteralUri. This will point the users to the current server..

It does not change to the new server, it adds that server as a potential end point.
