Good evening, Good morning Guys!
Glad I found this post. Now, I have the same scenario and the final goal is also same - to have Exchange 2016 in Account forest and decom Resource forest.

Can I continue with installing the Exch management tools alone without the Exchange server, or do I need ome Exchange server before installing the tools on another machine? I didn't get an exact answer on this so please share your opinions.
