Hello, all.<br />
<br />
We have recently migrated to O365 Exchange Online in hybrid mode.<br />
<br />
We have two on-prem Exchange servers. One is Exchange 2007, on which is configured SMTP relay. Another is Exchange 2013 which is used for hybrid management of groups and resources. <br />
<br />
We would like to decommission the 2007 and retain the 2013 for management. <br />
<br />
Can anyone recommend how best to move SMTP relay to the Exchange 2013 server? Of what other considerations should we be aware when consolidating servers in this situation? Thanks in advance for any guidance and tips!
