Can Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2016 servers work together in the Edge Transport role? Currently running Exchange 2007 in the ET role, we want to deploy Exchange 2016 ET

Wouldn’t that be easier and once everything is done and ready for cutover update the SCP to use the existing URL?

I’m currently trying to install Exchange 2016 on 2012 server (in a sandbox). I can go through all the motions of the install until it’s time to “/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareSchema” at which point the install does not complete because:

“Front End Transport service cannot be installed without Mailbox service.
Client Access Front End service cannot be installed without Mailbox service.”

I’m loading from an external hard drive. Could it possibly be I’m missing some files for the install? Standing by….

I am trying to install 2016 so it is ready to go once we want to start the migration/ coexistance process.

so if i stop at this step. and update the SCP on the 2016 server. and dont go further with this guide. is that okay? or will i be leaving stuff broken ?

im guessing i shouldnt have any issue doing that. as i am not ready to move over virtual directories or namespaces quite yet. just wanted to get 2016 installed.

Then they released CU12. Trying to upgrade, it fails the prerequisite checks because there is not a domain controller in the Exchange Build AD site. Anyway to get past this short of moving the servers back to the production AD site? I don’t want clients to start hitting the 2016 boxes yet via SCP records, but I’d like to be on the latest CU prior to going live.

Have run into an issue launching Shell or Toolbox mmc. Errors in Shell make reference to WinRM being unable to process the request due to several possibilities related to ConnectionURI or credential. I do observer that it seems to be using the computer account to attempt the connection rather than a user account.

Testing has revealed that if I place the Exchange server AD computer account in the Domain Admins group and restart all issues are corrected. I can connect to the Shell and open Toolbox mmc. The server account in Domain Admins does cause other issues in functionality and mailbox connection for clients. I have been adding the Domain Admin group membership to the computer acccount only during needed troubleshooting times.

Any ideas on what could be causing this weird scenario?

Btw, the way we tackle the certificate issue is by installing an internal CA signed certificate with the server FQDN on the server prior to installing Exchange. Exchange will automatically bind this certificate and clients won’t get a certificate warning.

People run into this problem quite a lot because they don’t realize the SCP and other namespaces need configuring. The certificate isn’t as urgent because you can leave DNS for the namespace pointing to the old server while you sort out a certificate.

I have never noticed “Users reported” the cert error when upgrading exchanges. Does it seldom happen that outlook clients looking for an exchange will choose the new server?

Change SCP is now next on my list, installing the cert has always be high up so may be why I have never noticed this.
