Hi All,

Hopefully this is somewhat of an easy process.

I have a single Exchange 2013 server running on Windows Server 2012 R2.  The server itself is a decent server; however, it was built with a poor design to it so we keep running out of resources.

I now have a newer system and I'd like to replace our current Exchange Server with this one.  I've tried searching the web and the only results I seem to find is upgrading/migrating from an older version of Exchange.

How easy would this be to just replace hardware?

Couple of options:

- You can stand up a new 2013 server, move mailboxes.

- You could create a DAG, add 2nd server, seed DB's, make DB's active on new server, remove DB's from first server, decommission first server.
