Hello everyone,

I want to migrate postfix under redhat to Exchange 2016 on DAG, the most reliable scenario that I find is that I install & Configure Exchange with, all, help us at any time mailboxes and configure Outlook again according to Exchange wean,

once you finish the postfix server will be backup and shutdown,

what do you think of this scenario?

thank you,

Mahdi,

Mehdi

Here is what you can do:-

1. Install and configure Exchange server

2. Setup Email flow and client access

3. Migrate mailbox

4. Make sure that email flow is working from Exchange server only.

5. Remove postfix server

To migrate the mailbox data, we have two options:

1. Export the postfix mailbox to pst and then import into Exchange mailbox.
2. Use some third party tools.

Hi,

Yeah there are limitations with third party email servers to Exchange migrations in migrating emails.
