Exchange 2013 upgrade to Exchange 2019 and licencing for administration
Hello,
I found in some Microsoft articles that there is a free license for Exchange Server administration purposes when migrating to Exchange Online in a hybrid scenario, with directory synchronization (AAD).
Based on this, we have an Exchange Server 2013 (with proper licensing) where all boxes have already been moved (through HCW) to Exchange Online.
Both the OS (Windows Server 2012) and Exchange 2013 are discontinued, making it a risk to keep these systems connected to the network.
Therefore, we intend to install a new Windows Server 2022 server with Exchange 2019 CU14 only for the purpose of administering the attributes of the boxes moved to Exchange online.
Our question:
– how is Exchange 2019 free licensing done on this new server based on the license provided by Microsoft for administrative purposes? Would it be just through Powershell?
– Is it possible to install EAC for easier administration without installing the Mailbox feature? Otherwise, is it possible to use this feature without using a paid license?
Thanks!
