DRAG DROP
You have an Exchange Server 2010 organization that contains two servers named EX1 and EX2. EX1
and EX2 are members of a database availability group (DAG) named DAG1.
You plan to migrate the organization to Exchange Server 2013.
You install Exchange Server 2013 on two new servers named EX3 and EX4 and you import the
required certificates.
You need to recommend which migration tasks must be performed to migrate the mailboxes and the
public folders. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Prevent any interruption to mailbox and public folder access during the migration.
Ensure that all mailbox and public folder data remains highly available during the migration.
Which five actions should you perform in sequence before decommissioning EX1 and EX2 from the
network? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and
arrange them in the correct order.
Answer: See the explanation
Explanation:
Box 1: Create a new DAG named DAG2.
Box 2: Join EX3 and EX4 to DAG2.
Box 3: Create mailbox database copies on EX3 and EX4.
Box 4: Move all of the user mailboxes.
Box 5: Move all public folders.
Note:
A general outline of what needs to be done is as follows:
* (step 1, step 2) Create the new Exchange 2013 DAG and add Exchange 2013 mailbox servers to the
DAG.
* (Step 3) Create mailbox database copies within the Exchange 2013 DAG as required.
* (Step 4) Move mailboxes from databases in the Exchange 2010 DAG to the Exchange 2013 DAG.
* (Step 5) We should move all the public folders last.
Note: Due to the changes in how public folders are stored, legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to
access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 servers or on Exchange Online. However, user
mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers or Exchange Online can connect to legacy public folders.
Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization
simultaneously. This effectively means that there’s no coexistence between versions. Migrating
public folders to Exchange Server 2013 or Exchange Online is currently a one-time cutover process.
For this reason, it’s recommended that prior to migrating your public folders, you should first
migrate your legacy mailboxes to Exchange 2013 or Exchange Online.
