    Hi Marc, Your question in the title is "Migration from Exchange 2010 to 2019", and the question in the main text is "Migration from Exchange 2010 to 2016" because the migration methods of the two are very different. In order to better solve your problem, which version do you want to migrate from Exchange 2010 to? Below I will provide the steps for migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016, if you want to know about "Migration from Exchange 2010 to 2019", please feel free to let me know.

    1. For a safer and more stable migration operation, please understand the system requirements of Exchange 2016 before migrating. Please make sure your Exchange 2010 version is Rollup 11 for Exchange 2010 SP3 or later. For more information: Exchange Server system requirements.
    2. Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2016 are quite different, so please following the steps to prepare the prerequisites for Exchange 2016.
    1. Install the required Windows components.
    2. Install the .NET Framework.
    3. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2012/2013.
    4. Install the Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit. For more information: Exchange Server prerequisites

    Lucas,

    Thanks you for your answer that will help I'm sure. But I was not crystal clear about what I want to do. I start for one old server running Exchange 2010 and I install a new server on which I want to have the newest Exchange version I can (the OS is Windows Server 2019 Standard).
    I read that going from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2019 is not possible directly so I thought I could start with Exchange 2016 and then maybe upgrade on a second step to Exchange 2019.

    So, Do I need to prepare my Exchange 2010 on my old system for the upgrade as the new Exchange will run on a different server?

    Thanks for your help.

    By the way, I will do the migration next monday.

    Marc.
