We are about to embark on this very same journey. Any pointers you could pass along would be great.

Hi!
- It will be helpfull if you export the mailboxes with ExMerge into PST files as a backup just in case.
- The new Server will have a different Internal IP address so you have to change the settings on your Firewall and point the external traffic coming on the external IP/port 25 (110 for POP3, 143 for IMAP, 80 or 443 for OWA etc ) to the new server.
- If you have Antispam software or antivirus gateway make sure to reconfigure and test them with the new server

Good Luck!
