Prepared a Physical Host with Hyper-V (Windows Server 2016).In my document graphical images are very less but steps are perfect. I followed the following steps to bring the mail services online overnight. I received a call from my sales guy to migrate everything on to a fresh working environment. Customer was tired of restoring old working backups but has to bear loosing recent emails every time. The issue with the customer was every now and then email flow stops working and because of multiple components installed on one single server it was becoming difficult to isolate the issue.

Exchange 2010 SP3 (Mailbox and CAS Roles).Active Directory (Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise).Old Environment running on One Physical Server

So I would like to share my experience with the task performed and the steps I had undertaken. I recently migrated Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2016 for the one of the customer, the migration was done overnight.
