If you don\u2019t know this  before you start it is more likely that you will  experience downtime after the migration.  <\/li><li><strong>Duplicate your existing Exchange environment<\/strong> Set up a reliable method to restore data in case any disastrous  situation is encountered. This can be done by creating an exact replica,  what we call a mirror image, of your existing Exchange environment.  This way, if the worst does happen, at least you  haven\u2019t lost any important data.  <\/li><li><strong>Document the configurations \u2013 both hardware and software<\/strong> This step if often ignored by IT administrators carrying out Exchange  migrations as it can be laborious and time consuming. It is highly  recommended that you maintain a proper documentation of both the  hardware and software configuration in your current  system and also the one you\u2019re migrating to.  <\/li><li><strong>The order in which you install also matters<\/strong> Servers, admin roles and privileges related to Exchange migration  cannot be installed simultaneously. However, there is a correct order  for which they must be deployed. Sticking to this order would not only  save migration resources, but also ensure you get  the most out of your new Exchange environment.  <\/li><li><strong>Do the math \u2013 in advance<\/strong> Keeping track of the amount of required resources, time and migration  tasks being performed before you begin will help you save time in the  long run. <\/li><li><strong>Testing the procedures is vital<\/strong> It is important to validate the accuracy of the techniques you are  using in your migration before you begin the migration in full. Test a  small chunk using the migration procedures that you\u2019re going to follow  and if all works then you should be ready to  go.  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a solid plan in place before beginning an Exchange \nMigration, and you have thought through the variables, then you \nshouldn\u2019t encounter many issues during the actual migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important part of carrying out an Exchange Migration is making sure you have a solid plan in place before you start.
