On April 11, 2023, less than 90 days from today, Exchange Server 2013 reaches End of Support!

After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide:

  • Technical support for problems that may occur
  • Bug fixes for issues that are discovered and that may impact the stability and usability of the server
  • Security fixes for vulnerabilities that are discovered and that may make the server vulnerable to security breaches
  • Time zone updates

Exchange Server 2013 will continue to run after this date, of course; however, due to the risks listed above, we strongly recommend that you migrate from Exchange Server 2013 as soon as possible. If you haven't started your migration from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange Online or Exchange Server 2019, get going now!

In order to stay supported you can:

If you are upgrading to Exchange Server 2019, learn about what you need in your environment and how to safely decomission Exchange Server 2013 when you are done.

If you're migrating to Exchange Online, you might be eligible to use our Microsoft FastTrack service. FastTrack provides best practices, tools, and resources to make your migration to Exchange Online as seamless as possible. Best of all, you'll have a support engineer walk you through from planning and design to migrating your last mailbox. For more information about FastTrack, see Microsoft FastTrack.

For more information on what this means and what your options are, see Exchange 2013 end of support roadmap.

    I've already migrated my entire Org to EXO. However, we use our Exchange 2013 servers as internal SMTP Relay and Remote-Mailobject management servers in our environment. We sync to O365 via AAD Connect. Our Exchange 2013 servers host no mailboxes nor is there any inbound mail-flow to them. Autodiscover points to EXO. I need to migrate to Exchange 2019 to perform these functions. I have yet to find any decent documentation that goes through this process. Is there any?
