Migration exchange 2010 to hosted exchange 2013

Hello,

Tried to search for a good solution for what I need but always redirected to places of office365.

I will explain what i need and maybe you could find me a good solution.

I have several offices that i give IT support. Some of them with exchange 2003 and some with 2007-2010.

I want to migrate their servers to my new hosted exchange 2013 (multi-tenancy).

Is there a way to do CutOver migration?

What are my options?

P.s. All offices are working with calendars so PSTing their mailboxes is out of the question.

Hope you understand what i wanted to do.

Thanks for the help.

Lior.

For what you're planning, a cutover migration would be best.  For that I would recommend a tool like Migrationwiz (http://www.migrationwiz.com).  You can start the migration in advance, get the data copied and then do a final incremental move on the cutover date.  In addition to the mailbox move, you will want to synchronize the directories and ensure that the legacyExchangeDN property of the source mailboxes appear as proxy addresses of type X500 on the target mailboxes or else they won't be able to reply to old mail or use Outlook contacts or cached addresses.  I don't recall whether MigrationWiz can take care of that for you or not.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your answer.

Is there any free migration tool?

These tools are really expensive.

If there is, you'll have to find it yourself.  They're expensive because they do an excellent job; it costs money to do an excellent job sometimes.

Hi Lior,

As per my awareness, if you are looking for any third party tool, they all provides paid services. However, you can check the free trail version available on some websites as per there terms. The demo version lets you preview the data but you will not be able to save them anymore. Check this one reference which claims to migrate exchange server 2010 to exchange server 2013 with complete data security : http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com

You will need to verify the evaluation copy of this tool by your end and if it suits you, you can proceed further to buy the complete version.
