I am installing Office 365 online for my network.  The present setup is that I have pop 3 mailboxes with my ISP - I don't have any exchange installation. 

My question is should I install Microsoft exchange 2013 locally and then move online OR should I simply install online -- when I look at the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant  it seems to work with upgrading installations as opposed to clean installs.

Apols if this Q has an obvious answer.

Hi OliverSwan,

Thank you for your question.

From your state: The present setup is that I have pop 3 mailboxes with my ISP. By my understanding, you could create mailbox for Enterprise user, it means you have purchased Exchange online from MS. We didnt deploy Exchange online in organization.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 

Best Regard,

Jim

As per the information and details provided by you, I think you should install Exchange 2013 on a member server.

I hope this information will be helpful for you.
