Exchange Server Deployment Assistant

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013

The Exchange Server Deployment Assistant is a Web-based tool that can help you with your Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2013 deployment. The Deployment Assistant asks you a few questions about your current environment and then generates a custom checklist and procedures that help simplify your deployment. To access the Deployment Assistant, see Exchange Deployment Assistant.

You can use the Deployment Assistant for the following deployment scenarios:

  • Exchange 2016 On-Premises only

    • New installation of Exchange Server 2016

    • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange 2016

    • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange 2016 (coming soon)

    • Upgrade from a mixed Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2013 organization to Exchange 2016 (coming soon)

      For more information about this scenario, see Planning and deployment.

  • Exchange 2016 Hybrid (On-Premises + Exchange Online)

    Scenarios supporting Exchange 2016 hybrid deployments will be available soon!

  • Exchange 2013 On-Premises only

    • New installation of Exchange Server 2013

    • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange 2013

    • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange 2013

    • Upgrade from a mixed Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 organization to Exchange 2013

      For more information about this scenario, see Planning and deployment.

  • Exchange 2013 Hybrid (On-Premises + Exchange Online)

    • Exchange 2013 on-premises with Exchange Online

    • Exchange 2010 on-premises with Exchange Online

    • Exchange 2007 on-premises with Exchange Online

      For more information about this scenario, see Exchange Server Hybrid Deployments.

      Important

      If you have an Exchange 2003 on-premises organization and want to configure a new hybrid deployment with Microsoft 365 or Office 365, you must add one or more servers running Exchange 2010 Server Service Pack 3, not Exchange 2013 servers, to your on-premises organization. To do that, we strongly recommend that you use the Exchange 2010 hybrid deployment option in the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant.

In addition to the above Exchange 2013 deployment scenarios, the Deployment Assistant also has deployment scenarios for Exchange 2010.
