Exchange admin center in Exchange Online

  • Article

Important

Effective from December 2022, the classic Exchange Admin Center will be deprecated for worldwide customers. Microsoft recommends using the new Exchange Admin Center, if not already doing so.

While most of the features have been migrated to new EAC, some have been migrated to other admin centers and remaining ones will soon be migrated to New EAC. Find features that are not yet there in new EAC at Other Features or use Global Search that will help you navigate across new EAC.

The new Exchange admin center (EAC) is a modern, web-based management console for managing Exchange that is designed to provide an experience more in line with the overall Microsoft 365 admin experience. It replaces the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) to manage email settings for your organization.

  • Improved mailbox management

    Recipient management is one of the most crucial tasks that admins perform. The new EAC now includes easier mailbox management.
