We wanted to post a quick note on our blog to mention to all that at Microsoft Ignite 2017 we have announced that we will be releasing Exchange Server 2019 as an on-premises release to our customers.

We are looking forward to sharing more details about this release with you in calendar year (CY) 2018. We expect to release a preview in mid CY 2018 with the final release near the end of CY 2018. Please review our TAP program post, as we will be looking for more customers to help us validate this release!

    Bottomless archives (split when reaching 50gb to a new mailbox)

    Calendar improvements (Meeting invites to large number of mailboxes)

  • this is great news, especially to those who plan to upgrade. Now we can decide to wait if needed knowing E2019 is coming up.....
  • Great news!

    I was telling everyone that (IMHO) the rumors about soon death of on-premise Exchange are greatly exaggerated ;)

      Looks to me One day all will goto Office 365 and Techies will waste time on learning On-premise Exchange.

        buddy Whats your Problem with on-premise Servers Boxes.(Cloud Means Public_and its true and nobody can change it) i really love to see Black and steel color boxes around me with different wire category with blinking lights and of-course smooth and sexy sound like (1) Starting Sound 2) Lode UP sound and 3) restart Sonund) (Zooooooommmm , Huusuuuuussssssss, yaaaaaahaaaauuuu), dont you like. What kind of IT person you are,
  • I see many customers already moved to Office 365 and moving to Office 365. So Question here is why on-premise Exchange 2019 require ?

      it's not a question of being cool or not, it's a question of security, like medical patients data can't be on cloud mail systems in some countries.

      well the rest of us (the world) is still using on-premise and have trust issues with cloud.
  • This was welcome news. It shows the commitment to on-premise Exchange deployments.

      i wonder how many percentages are still on-premise vs O365.

        That seems like a very "small business" mindset comment. My question would be, how many large customers are 100% in the cloud, if any. How many customers are even a large percentage in the cloud. I don't think Microsoft realizes what a financial disaster having Exchange available ONLY in the cloud without any on-premise solution would be to them... because people would just migrate to some other email system which allows on-prem.

      Sounds like it's not staying after this release though.

        They said that about 2016!

      They still have to run their own Exchange environment on O365 so I imagine that we will see a few iterations before we are all forced to cloud :)
