The problem is that you can&rsquo;t migrate the SBS 2011 with Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2019 server directly as Exchange 2010 and 2019 can&rsquo;t exist in the same forest. Thus, to migrate SBS 2011 to Server 2019, you can follow any of these two methods:<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"native-migration\"><strong>Native Migration<\/strong><\/h2><p>First, migrate the SBS 2011 to server 2016 or 2013 and then migrate server 2016\/2013 to server 2019. This is quite a long process as it requires you to set up two different servers, i.e., Exchange 2016 or 2013 and Exchange 2019, then migrate SBS 2011 to server 2013\/2016, followed by server 2013\/2016 to server 2019 migration.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"direct-migration\"><strong>Direct Migration<\/strong><\/h2><p>Create a new Exchange environment in a new Active Directory forest with a new domain. Next, use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/exchange-migration.php\">Exchange migration tool<\/a>, such as Stellar Migrator for Exchange to migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2010 on SBS 2011 server to the Exchange 2019 server directly.<\/p><p>This is the safest approach to migrate SBS 2011 to server 2019 in one hop, which will not only save significant time and resources but also avoid any unnecessary downtimes. The software provides the option to scan the Exchange database (EDB) file(s) that contains all user mailboxes and lets you export these mailboxes directly to a Live Exchange 2019 server in a few clicks.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In this guide, we will discuss the second method to migrate SBS 2011 to server 2019.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"steps-to-migrate-sbs-2011-to-server-2019-directly\">Steps to Migrate SBS 2011 to Server 2019 Directly<\/h2><p>To migrate SBS 2011 to Server 2019, you need to set up a clean Exchange 2019 environment with a new Active Directory forest.
