Migrating Exchange 2016 to Exchange 2019 US English Only

Question

I am in need to migrate Exchange 2016 with Unified Messaging and multiple languages to Exchange 2019 with US English only language due to compliance issues. I read that Unified Messaging is no longer a part of 2019 correct? If this is true this is good because I do not need it. However, I wanted to ask if there is a way to install Exchange 2019 in US-English only meaning no other languages at all. Please advise. Thank you

Answer 1

I dont know of any supported way to remove the client language packs:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/plan-and-deploy/deployment-ref/language-support?view=exchserver-2019

But yes, UM is not in 2019:

Answer 2

Hi @Oscar Gonzalez ,

There are no switches in the official documentation that can be selected to install language packs, except for UM language packs for Exchange 2016.

However, this switch is no longer needed in Exchange 2019.
