Exchange 2010 outlookanywhere

We’re migrations from exchange 2010 to 2016.

As per the requirement for coexistence OutlookAnywhere on exchange 2010 should be enabled.

Since in the current Exchange 2010 is not enabled we’d like to check of possible impact to users when enabling it.

 

When enabling an URL is needed, is that correct to use the URL we configured on exchange 2016 for OWA and other services ?

    Found the issue, on the client there was a reg key that was disabling mapi/https

    Removed it and then the client connected successfully

      Hello TAE_YOUN_ANN TAE
      I also noticed that you only suggest to change the External URL for each service, shouldn't also the internal URL of EX2010 point to EX2016 ?
      thanks

        The distinction between internal and external URLs is based on DNS record values.
        If your DNS record values are divided into internal and external, please separate the URL into internal and external.

      Hello TAE_YOUN_ANN 

      These are the commands that sets URLs on exchange 2016, should I set the same url for exchange 2010 as well?

      Hello TAE_YOUN_ANN TAE
      a part from the url that you suggested to set the same in ex2010 as in ex 2016 will there be any impact on the users enabling outlook anywhere on exchange 2010?

        Outlookanyware accesses based on the user's mailbox.
        Matching URLs is a best practice to avoid changing DNS record values.
        Therefore, Exhange 2010 users will see no changes.
