Exchange Server 2013 - Deployment Assistant

The Exchange Server Deployment Assistant, or ExDeploy, is a Web-based tool that can help you with your Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 deployment. ExDeploy asks you a few questions about your current environment and then generates a custom checklist and procedures that help simplify your deployment. To access ExDeploy, see Exchange Server 2013 Deployment Assistant.

Note:
If you’re looking for ExDeploy for Exchange 2010, see Exchange 2010 Deployment Assistant.

You can use ExDeploy for the following deployment scenarios:

• On-Premises only
  
  • New installation of Exchange Server 2013
    
  • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange 2013
    
  • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange 2013
    
  • Upgrade from a mixed Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 organization to Exchange 2013 (Coming soon!)
    
  For more information about this scenario, see Planning and Deployment.
  
• Hybrid (On-Premises + Exchange Online)
  
  • Exchange 2013 on-premises with Exchange Online
    
  • Exchange 2010 on-premises with Exchange Online (Coming soon!)
    
  • Exchange 2007 on-premises with Exchange Online
    
  For more information about this scenario, see Exchange Server 2013 Hybrid Deployments.
  

  Important:
  If you have an Exchange 2003 on-premises organization and want to configure a new hybrid deployment with Office 365, you must add one or more servers running Exchange 2010 Server Service Pack 3, not Exchange 2013 servers, to your on-premises organization. To do that, we strongly recommend that you use the Exchange 2010 Server Deployment Assistant.

• Cloud only
