    Hello Mike Cavasin,

     

    This has been asked in the following GitHub issue:

    https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-Exchange/issues/270

     

    Microsoft representatives answered the following:

     

    "as the topic is currently written, Exchange 2010 support tops out at Windows Server 2012 R2 for supported Active Directory environments (writable DCs, writeable GCs, and maximum forest functional level). In other words, any AD site that contains an Exchange 2010 server must contain at least one Windows 2012 R2 or earlier writeable DC and writeable GC. The presence of other Windows 2016 or later DCs in the site or forest is OK, as long as your forest functional level stays at Windows 2012 R2 or lower."

     

    and the following:

     

    "There are no plans at this time to support Windows Server 2019 Domain Controllers / Global Catalog servers with Exchange Server 2010."

     

    I hope this information was useful!

     

    Best regards,
    Leon
