Section 1 What’s the Same / What’s New / What’s Different in Exchange 2010 (background on where things will trip you up during the transition process)

64-bit E2010  Reduce IO/ sec req’d by 70%  ¼ the disk  4x more users  Large inboxes  Still uses EDB database structure (not SQL as once rumored)  No more.STM files (that were in Exchange 2003)  2 billion log files  E log (similar to Exchange 2007) When working with x64-bit  Need to closely review add-ins to make sure they support 64-bit (anti-virus, fax utils, gateway products, etc)  RAM is critical (lots works better on mailbox servers, but diminishing return on CAS and Hub Transport…)

Section 2 Migration Process Best Practices

Exchange 2007 Decommission Order: 1. Mailbox server 2. Unified Messaging server 3. Hub Transport server 4. Client Access server 5. Edge Transport server Exchange 2003 Decommission Order: 1. Mailbox server 2. SMTP 3. Front End

Proxy Internet Facing AD Site Internal AD Site Decommission old servers Upgrade Internal sites NEXT Upgrade Internet-facing sites FIRST Upgrade servers to SP2 1 Move Mailboxes Internet Internet hostname switch Unified Messaging switch SMTP switch Move Infra Pointers 4 SSL cert purchase End users don’t see this hostname Used when new CAS tell clients to talk to legacy environments Legacy hostnames for old FE/CAS 3 Start small Gradually add more servers to support scale Deploy E2010 Servers 2 E200x Servers TIP!

Generates custom instructions on how to install or upgrade to Exchange 2010 Help determine the cause of performance, mail flow, and database issues Verify Internet-facing services are set up and configured properly Determine overall health of Exchange system and topology

Domain Controller Domain Controller Directory Replication File Replication Service Directory objects (users, computers, etc.) SYSVOL (logon scripts, policies, etc.) Use ReplMon (in the Windows Support Tools on Windows CD) to validate replication Also use frsdiag.exe to confirm FRS replication FRS replicates the SYSVOL, contains NETLOGON share, stores logon scripts and system policies, contains Group Policies in separate folders AD Health Check Guide ($9.95 / 104-pages / step-by-step guide):
