Migrate mailboxes from 2013 to 2019

After installing Exchange 2019, you have two servers in your environment, and your next requirement is to migrate from the older 2013 to the new 2019. You can complete the process in Exchange Admin Center by migrating the mailboxes-

1. Log in to Exchange Admin Center and go to recipients, then mailboxes. Select the mailboxes that you need to migrate to the new server.
2. Click the Add (+) option and select ‘move to a different database.’
3. Choose more mailboxes for migration in the next window and click Next.
4. Provide a new name to the batch migration and choose the database in which you want to migrate. Choose the database from Exchange Server 2019. You can opt if you want to migrate the primary mailbox, public folder, or archive mailbox. Click Next.
5. Add a user who will receive notifications of migration stages. Click Next.
6. Choose either to start the batch instantly or after a scheduled time. It gives you control to run the batch at a later time when the Exchange Server has a lesser load.
7. The final step of creating the migration batch is to either automatically complete the migration batch or manually complete it by clicking the ‘complete this migration batch’ link.
8. As soon as a new batch is created, it will appear in the migration category. You can start it when you feel comfortable with the migration.

There will be a small delay in synchronization between the mailboxes as Active Directory replication may connect with their mailboxes depending on the location of the Exchange Server. After Active Directory syncs with the account completely, then you can further move the mailbox in Exchange 2019 from 2013 again.
