Hi

I am looking to deploy Exchange 2013 and I cannot see any evidence of an exPDA package.  Is there not one for 2013?

This was really useful for Exchange 2003 to 2010 and highlighted three issues which were resolved pre-install.

Kind Regards

Steven

Hi Steve

You can use Exchange Jetstress and Deployment assistant

Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2013 Tool

Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx

These two tools don't appear to analyse my existing exchange/AD environment though for incompatibilities, as per exPDA for Exchange 2010?

Kind Regards

Hi,

Currently, there is no official documents about the Exchange Pre-Deployment Analyzer for Exchange 2013.

The tools that we can use when we decide to install Exchange 2013 have been suggested above.

Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2013 Tool
Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant
Office 365 Best Practices Analyzer

Besides, here is a blog about Office 365 Best Practices Analyzer for Exchange 2013.

Thanks for understanding.

Best regards,
