Hi,

For installation, setup and configuration Exchange Server 2019; it is recommended to use member server.

And because of various reasons, hardware specification of member server should be high.

Therefore, we need two systems one for Active Directory-Domain Controller and another for member server.
Please let me know, can I go for one of following options:

Option1: AD-DC system is on-premises and member server is at Azure.
Option2: both systems (AD-DC and member server) are at Azure.

If I can go for either option1 or option2, I think there will be connectivity like below:
For option1, premises to Azure’s one region.
For option2, premises to Azure’s two regions, if AD-DC and member server are at different regions.

Apart from connectivity between Azure’s region(s) and premises, please let me know, how deployment of Exchange Server 2019 at premises differs from deployment at Azure?

Please elaborate and advise. In advance, thank you for giving your time.

With Regards

    Hi @NndnG

    Yes, we can deploy Exchange server in Azure, make sure the AD-DC and member servers in the same network. And meet the requirements list in Exchange Server virtualization

    It is suggested to refer to the official document which gives a detailed introduction about Exchange dev/test environments in Azure

    In addition, here is the video series about Exchange 2019: Building an Exchange lab in Azure

    For more information about the connectivity between Azure and on-premise, contacting the azure froum will be a good idea, or we can add the Azure related tag in the original post above. They will give you more professional suggestions about this part.

    At last, you could also consider buying O365 subscription for your organization like this thread discussed: Exchange Server on Azure VM
