Wanted to share an interesting find while using PowerShell in Exchange 2019. The cmdlet is ‘Get-OrganizationConfig’ and I Was looking over some information from a summary report I had exported for a client and noticed an interesting field called ‘OrganizationSummary’. So I did a little digging. We see this information about the Exchange environment:

Adding Exchange 2016 CU14 to Hybrid Exchange 2010/3
Recently Microsoft has made some changes where you are required to run a few extra commands prior to upgrading your Exchange 2016 servers to the latest Cumulative Update (CU) 14. The change relates to permissions needed for Exchange and the first change was made in CU12 for Exchange 2016 – KB4490059. A further change was…
Updated Exchange 2016 and 2019 Prerequisite Scripts. AGAIN!
Yes, I know, too many updates. However, I want these scripts to be as useful as possible. So.

.NET Versions and Exchange
Microsoft has their own Exchange Supportability Matrix which covers many parts of what is supported with a particular version of Exchange.

One of the more interesting changes to the ever changing Hybrid wizard is the ‘Hybrid Organization Configuration Transfer’ option that has appeared recently.
Slow mailbox moves in Exchange 2016
For the past few years most migrations (when I say most, I guess I mean 90%) are moving mailboxes to Office 365 and Exchange Online. This entails a bit of back work, some prep and migrations go relatively smoothly. In May of this year I worked with a company to move 4500 users in Europe…
