Please note that this is only one way of migration. In my case, I keep the namespace and the certificate. Of course, it also works slightly differently with a new namespace and/or a different certificate. Larger environments can also be migrated in this way, naturally also with a larger number of servers.
At this point, I would also like to give you a few tips and food for thought:
- The public folder migration requires downtime, i.e. the public folders cannot be accessed, this time window needs to be planned
- If you use a lot of public folders, you should consider the following points:
- How many public folder mailboxes are required
- How many public folder proxy mailboxes are required
- How high is the change rate on the public folders (significantly determines the time for the downtime)
- Which applications access Exchange Server
- Are all applications compatible? (archive system, virus protection, backup, etc...)
- Are there still old Outlook versions or software that uses MapiCDO?
- Which devices or systems send emails via Exchange?
- Is a Relay Connector required?
- Many logs are written during the migration of mailboxes and public folders, plan storage space accordingly
- ReFS or NTFS as file system?
- Hardware requirements
The Exchange Server Deployment Assistant also provides many useful resources; it is also worth playing through the migration here:

Natürlich lässt sich die Migration in vielen Umgebungen nur schwer testen, dennoch sollte die Migration wenn möglich in einer Testumgebung „ausprobiert“ werden.
Anyone who has not yet had any contact with Exchange 2013 / Exchange 2016 should first gain some hands-on experience.
Good luck, questions, suggestions, criticism as always by e-mail or comment.
