How to Migrate Exchange 2016 to Exchange Server Subscription Edition - harperphillips - 05-12-2026

Migrating from Exchange Server 2016 to the Subscription Edition (SE) is a critical move, as the older version has reached its end of support. Since there is no direct in-place upgrade path from 2016 to SE, a legacy (side-by-side) migration is required.


Shoviv Exchange Migration Tool simplifies this complex transition by automating the transfer of mailboxes, public folders, and archive data. Key advantages include:

  • Automation: It eliminates the need for extensive PowerShell scripting, reducing the risk of human error.
  • Data Integrity: The tool maintains the original folder hierarchy and metadata (CC, BCC, Date, etc.) during the move.
  • Efficiency: Features like Incremental Export prevent data duplication by only migrating new or modified items in subsequent runs.
  • Flexibility: Users can map source and target mailboxes via CSV and schedule jobs to minimize downtime.
