Hi if you have Exchange 2013, can you install the 2019 cu12 Exchange Management Tool or would you have to upgrade to the 2019 full Exchange server before you would be allowed to add the tool?

In reply to Mike Donovan.

No. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/plan-and-deploy/active-directory/ad-schema-changes?view=exchserver-2019#exchange-2019-cu12-active-directory-schema-changes

In reply to Prasad Sugunan. If you need to create a new Exchange on-premises organization, you can install an Exchange 2019 CU12 server, run HCW to establish the hybrid connection, and then remove the server to manage recipients afterward.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for highlighting and clarifying that last Exchange should not be uninstalled!

The above it true for an Existing Hybird environment.

How about a greenfield scenario? i.e. you are setting up a new exchange environment with Exchange online and would want to manage the Exchange attributes using Exchange Hybrid.

Will this still require having an Exchange 2019 locally installed and then run the HCW or will the new release of Exchange 2019 CU12 (will this set up the Exchange Organization) should be enough followed by an HCW?

In reply to Francisco Morais. It does work like that today, but the role can only be installed on a server where Exchange is present. The update allows the role to be installed on a workstation without the rest of Exchange Server.

Hey Tony,
I don’t get it!
You said:
“Now Exchange 2019 CU12 comes with an updated Exchange Management Tools role that can be installed on a server to allow recipient management through PowerShell. No other Exchange component is necessary”
Is it already not works at this way?
