Script to move send and receive connectors
Hello again,
Im almost at the end of my 2010 to 2016 exchange server migration. So far all the mailboxes have been moved. The last thing I need to do is move the send and receive connectors. I don't want to painfully do each one at a time and was wondering if any had a powershell script that could move it for me. Does anyone have anything like that.
Also, We have 4 2010 exchange boxes. I will be removing 3 of them, but 1 will have to stay. Its a long story. How can I point this one 2010 CAS server to our new exchange 2016 server? Is is done automatically via proxy?
Thanks for the help.

Yes those are custom created receive connectors so you will recreate them. don't modify the default 2016 receive connectors or you will be asking for issues.

When you deploy a new server, new connectors are created. However, if you have custom connectors that you need to migrate, you can use a script such as https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Copy-a-receive-connector-b20b9bef.

That script will help out for the 3 specific receive connectors that I have to move over. I dont need to modify the script, right?
@Todd, the 2010 exchange server is on the same domain. Only thing i have to change is the send connector source. It is pointing to our old 2010 primary exchange.
I will making all these changes on Thursday night, I will let you all know how it goes.

Question: I have 2 front end servers with different database. 1 is our primary and 2 is hold another set of databases. Do i have to copy the receive connectors to both or just the primary?
With the one 2010 exchange, it went straight to the primary 2010 then spam filter. Im just moving it to the new 2016, then spam filter. I think i will be ok with that one.

Yes one will be fine.

Well, it worked about 99%. I have a separate exchange server (2013) and for some odd reason, i can send to it, but i can't receive emails from it. I looked in there barracuda and the sent email was deferred because it is trying to look at the old email server instead of the new one.

I figured it out. I forgot to change my MX record. Rookie move lol. It's working now. We are good to go. Thank you everyone for your help.
