Replace SBS 2011 Exchange 2010 with Exchange 2016
I am looking for some advice on the best way to replace an Exchange 2010 server with an Exchange 2016 server.
I now have a SBS 2011 Server with Exchange 2010 and I will be installing Exchange 2016 on a new Dell server running Windows 2012.
Once Exchange 2016 has been setup the SBS 2011 server will also be replaced with a new Windows 2012 server on a different Dell server.
What is the most painless way to replace an Exchange 2010 server with an Exchange 2016 server?

Hi,
Exchange Server Migration is not an easy task to perform. There are lot of factors which you should have keep in mind before migration. Therefore before migration check for the prerequisites and at least have one backup of Exchange Server database, because in case of any unplanned, or not properly managed thing may lead your database in corruption state.
The configuration, which you have mentioned is well for Exchange 2016 installation.
Please go through below mentioned links to learn about Exchange 2010 to 2016 planning, migration, and uninstallation of Existing Exchange 2010 after successful migration.
