This is the second (and last) part of our\u00a0 step-by-step video tutorial<\/a><\/strong>, which demonstrates how to upgrade Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 Sp2. In Part 1<\/a><\/strong>, we’ve been preparing the existing network and introducing Exchange 2010 SP2 into it.<\/p>\n

In Part 2<\/a><\/strong>, we continue with moving all resources and decommissioning Exchange 2007 server.\u00a0 As usual, we follow our Step-by-step approach, where the whole upgrade is split into seven steps.<\/p>\n

\"Screencast:<\/a><\/p>\n

The first three steps prepare the ground for moving all resources to Exchange 2010:<\/p>\n

\"Click Step 1 – Replicate Public Folders and move OAB generation server.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Click Step 2 – Generate and submit a CSR for a new SSL certificate to GoDaddy.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Click Step 3 – Install the new Certificate on Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007 servers.<\/a><\/p>\n

The mail flow and client connectivity should remain intact at this point. As you will see in the next two steps – good preparation and timing is crucial for minimizing downtime when changing the mail flow and remote client connectivity:<\/p>\n

\"Click Step 4 – Change the mailflow through Exchange 2010 server.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Click Step 5 – Change remote client access – OWA, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync.<\/a><\/p>\n

Moving the mailboxes to Exchange 2010 server can take a significant amount of time. You should be prepared for different scenarios, including troubleshooting failed move requests and automatically suspending moves to minimize the impact on the end users:<\/p>\n

\"Click Step 6 – Move the mailboxes – troubleshoot failed move requests, automatically suspend moves and complete them after hours.<\/a><\/p>\n

And the last step is moving all Public Folder replicas to Exchange 2010 and uninstalling the legacy server:
\n\"Click Step 7 – Remove Exchange 2007 Mailbox and Public folder DB and uninstall Exchange 2007 server.<\/a><\/p>\n
