We are currently planning the upgrade of our Exchange Server 2016 DAG (on Windows Server 2012 R2) to Exchange Server 2019. I have found it surprising that there are a fair number of articles about migrating from 2010 or 2013, but very few resources for our current scenario. Is the only option to stand up a new DAG and use ECP to move mailboxes (or databases) to the new DAG? Can anyone point me to documentation about how to manage namespaces, load balancers, and clients during this transition? Thanks!Solved16KViews0likes4Comments
