Exchange 2010 "CAS/MBX/HUB" with Exchange 2013 as MBX only server
Hi
We have a windows 2008R2 server running exchange 2010 STD, its now getting to the point where we want to move most of the mailboxes onto a new separate MBX server, I have already built the new MBX only exchange 2013 server with server 2012R2, the problem is I cant find anyone else who has this configuration, as it stands we cannot see the MBX server in the exchange 2010 console, do I have to also install CAS as well on the exchange 2013 server and move everything over, any help appreciated.

How do I check, I only get very limited access in /ecp because I only have the MBX role installed on the exchange 2013 server.
Should my configuration above be possible? so exchange 2010 "cas,hub,mbx" then exchange 2013 as only "mbx"?

I also noticed that I apparently need this update? "Cumulative Update 2" or is that still only for RTM?
Open up EMS on your Exchange 2013 server and issue:
In your situation, I would also run the CAS role on your Exchange 2013 server. Exchange 2013 handles client access a little differently than Exchange 2010.
The only way to definitively test your desired configuration would be to try it and see. You can always move some smaller mailboxes to the Exchange 2013 MBX and roll back if it doesn't work.

ok I was running "15.00.0516.032" , I used this site to work out the answer about the CU2 update.

I am now downloading SP1, its 0:19 here now so will update you tomorrow on progress.

You also need the CAS role.
The CAS role is responsible for all access to the 2013.
Besides what N-W said you also need to confirm if the requirements are in place:
•Exchange 2010 SP3 on all Exchange 2010 servers in the organization, including Edge Transport servers.
•Exchange 2013 CU2 or later on all Exchange 2013 servers in the organization.

Hi, I am running SP3 on my exchange 2010 server, I have now built the exchange 2013 server with SP1 and can see everything like mailboxes and both servers listed and other things like accepted domains journal rules etc.
I have tested a move of 1 mailbox and that went through fine, as this is the first exchange setup I have done where there is more than 1 exchange server I am not sure if all of these settings so things like journal rules receive connectors etc are replicated? ideally I would like to eventually decommission the old exchange 2010 server, could anyone give me some pointers on this?

thanks in the end I had to just create another exchange 2010 server as XP doesn't seem to connect with any outlook client to exchange 2013 properly.
Server 2012 R2 isn't supported unless your Exchange 2013 has SP1 installed.
To move mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to 2013, you should use the 2013 ECP/EMS to create the move requests. See instructions here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150487(v=exchg.150).aspx
