Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016 - Tool for Migrating mailboxes

Hi Guys,

We are soon to upgrade SBS server 2011 with Exchange 2010 to  Windows server 2012 running Exchange 2016.
I understand that we can do migration mode install, but as the server has lot of bugs and in a dirty state, mismanaged by various system
admins over the years, we want to instead just setup the new server with exchange 2016 from scratch as its only a small organisation of 20 users.

My question is this - Is there a tool, which we can use (free or cheap enough) to migrate 20 mailboxes from old exchange to new exchange server cross-domain? Note - There are no public folders/shared mailboxes or shared calendars.

Best way is to do a fresh installation
Then export the 20 mailboxes to pat files then create a new 20 mailboxes in exchange 2016 and import the pst files
if you dont want to do any efforts there is scripts to do the export ,create mailboxes, import
I will share it with you within couple of hours

There are lots of tool out there that will help you to do this migration, check out the below tools having free trial version available:

CodeTwo Exchange Migration

LepideMigrator for Exchange

MigrationWiz

Binary Tree

With only 20 mailboxes these may work for you.

- on each user open outlook export to PST and import in the new server with either outlook or exchange commands

- Export on old servers mailboxes to pst and import on new with either outlook or exchange shell.

Also get help from this earlier discussed thread i.e. Exchange 2010 to 2016 cross-forest

Hope this helps!
