Exchange Servger 2016 on Windows Server 2016 Essential
Dear Experts,
I had this question after viewing Windows Server 2016 Essentials with Exchange 2016. Is it feasible solution?.
Does Exchange Server 2016 Standard actually install on Windows Server 2016 Essential?
I just realized that the server I purchased with MS Exchange Server 2016 Standard from Dell came with Essential.
If it does not install, is there a way to upgrade to Windows Server 2016 Standard from Essential?
I know I should have looked at the configuration more carefully, but I stupidly assumed that the Dell rep who was selling me the server and software understood the compatibility.
Please advise.
