Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 R2

Currently I am in the process of planning to migrate my servers to Windows Server 2012 R2, but I cannot find any documentation on setting up Exchange 2013 in this environment.

My current environment is WSE 2012 running on its own hardware, with a Windows Server Standard running a VM with the Exchange Server installed.  I would like everything on the same version.

 

Any suggestions?

2012 R2 will be supported with SP1 of Exchange 2013. while we have found no issues running It on CU3 we are still testing it and it will not be supported on CU3 for production use.

Hello,

I agree with Rajkumar's sugegstion. There is no related technet article to verify whether you can install exchange 2013 on windows server 2012 r2.

Maybe we need to do some tests to verify whether the environment is supported.

hello ,

Answer is that you cannot upgrade an OS that has Exchange installed on it.  You best bet would be to do a new server install of 2012 R2 and then Exchange and migrate.
