Hello Vasil,

 

Thank you for you clear answer.

 

As I was thinking, I'll need to have an Exchange en premise. But the actual server Exchange 2010 SP3 on SBS 2011 is really end of life, and I need to remove this one. So can I install a new Exchange 2016 only for management and how do it?

Where can I have the hybrid license ?

As this Exchange is only for management, do you think it's ok to install it on a domain controller ?

 

Thank you

As you will not be using any features apart from the management tools, leave the SBS running IMO.

    I really want to remove this SBS Server.

     

    I mean, this server crash once per week and consume a lot a disk space on our infrastructure. And the server is 8 years old, I think it's time to go for him...

     

    Does exists a documentation for replace this old server by a new Exchange on permise ?

     

    Thank you for your answer
