I understand Exchange 2019 removes UM but will Skype for Business Server 2015 function at all with mailboxes located on Exchange 2019?

    @Susan Dodds ,

    What is your environment now?

    If your Exchange server migrates to Exchange server 2019, Skype for Business server 2015 should be migrated to Skype for Business server 2019.

    The following table shows which combinations of Exchange and Skype for Business Server are supported and where voicemail is processed.

    The previous response is purely for Unified messaging support (voicemail).

    Exchange server 2019 and Skype for business 2015 are supported for presence and chat. CU7 and upwards must be installed on the Skype for Business server.
