We are currently migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016 and it looks like the distribution groups were never upgraded to the Exchange 2010 version when an earlier migration was performed from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. &nbsp;Before decommissioning Exchange 2010, I would like to upgrade the distribution groups. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Are there any known issues with upgrading the distribution groups in this scenario, that is, upgrading the distribution groups to Exchange 2010 version in a coexistence environment of Exchange 2010 and 2016? I am planning to run the command below:<br />
<br />
Get-DistributionGroup –resultsize unlimited | Set-DistributionGroup –ForceUpgrade<br />

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers
