Hello Everybody,

I have a client and he want to migrate Exchange 2010 database to Exchange 2013 EDB database. So, I searched about migration of Exchange server from one version to another but more than 90% of solutions were related to a third party tool. But I have not that amount of money to afford a third party tool for migration of exchange databases. I want to do it manually using Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell.

So, please tell me about solutions using EMC and Powershell commands which can be used to migrate from Exchange 2010 to 13.

Hi Lincoln, nnThanks for posting. nnMigration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 is possible using commands. You have to first export Exchange database file (. EDB) from exchange 2010 in Outlook PST file format and then import outlook PST file in Exchange 2013 using Mailbox import command. nnI hope you can achieve this solution. nIf not then please let me know. nnRegards nDexter

Thanks for responding Dexter. nnBut i don't know about export and import exchange database to outlook. I am running several schools and all employees emails are stored in exchange database which i don't want to loose. nnSo please tell me a solution which i can follow easily without losing any emails. nn
