Exchange 2016 Domain Schema change in Hybrid
Hi All,
We have a Hybrid setup with O365. On-premise Exchange 2010. We are planning to set up new Exchange 2016 server and noticed two ways to Prepare Active Directory and please clarify?
1. Prepare Active Directory
Examples:
E:\Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareSchema
E:\Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareAD
2. To extend your AD schema for the Exchange 2016 attributes. This is done as follows;
Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell as below;
$Cred=GET-CREDENTIAL
$s = NEW-PSSESSION -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
$importresults=import-pssession $s
Export the tenantconfig.xml file by running the following;
Get-OrganizationConfig | Export-Clixml -Path TenantConfig.XML
Next, prepare the schema as below - setting the folder path to where you saved the xml file.,
./Setup.exe /PrepareAD /TenantOrganizationConfig c:\temp\TenantConfig.xml /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Then, prepare the domains
./Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseterms

Hi, I'm not quite sure what your question is here as you have all of the appropriate steps listed already. Please can you explain a little further?
PeterRising Hi Peter,
Want to know the difference between above 1 and 2?
I mean one without TenantConfig.XML?

aussupport Came to know that few Exchange 2016 servers were decommissioned with the O365 migration. So when I install a new server, need to run the forest prep and domain again?
