Microsoft Exchange 2016 and 2019: End of an era

Microsoft has announced that support for Exchange Server 2016 and 2019 will end on Oct. 14, 2025. This means that these versions will no longer receive technical support, bug fixes or security updates after this date

What does this mean for users?

Although Exchange 2016 and 2019 will still function after October 2025, they will become more vulnerable to security threats and other technical issues. Microsoft therefore recommends users take action now to avoid future problems

Migration options

Users have two main options: migrate to Exchange Online or upgrade to the new Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE), which will be launched later this year

Migrating to Exchange Online: This is the simplest and most recommended option. By moving to the cloud, users benefit from the latest features and technologies, including advanced AI capabilities not available for on-premises installations

Upgrading to Exchange Server SE: For organizations that want to continue using their Exchange servers on-premises, the new SE version offers a good solution. Users of Exchange 2019 can upgrade directly to SE, while users of Exchange 2016 must first upgrade to Exchange 2019 before moving to SE

Preparing for the future

Microsoft has provided specific tools and resources to make the migration as smooth as possible. For example, the FastTrack program provides support from planning to execution so that organizations can transition without hassle

The end of support for Exchange 2016 and 2019 marks an important transition period for many organizations. By migrating to Exchange Online or preparing to upgrade to Exchange Server SE now, companies can ensure that their email infrastructure remains secure and up-to-date. Analyst ICT specializes in these types of upgrades. So if your organization needs help, please take a moment contact on.

Why saving passwords in your browser is not a good idea
The blog post below was created in response to a question during our engineering meeting. Every two weeks, we get together with all of our technical staff to discuss the latest developments in technology or with clients. Good client questions also arise during these meetings, such as this one. Time to do some research. Thank you, Wiebe! You've probably experienced this: you log in to a website, and your browser asks if it should remember your password. Convenient, fast, and you don't have to remember anything. However, there's a risk involved. In practice, we see that many security incidents start with something small. Like saving passwords…

Apple is taking a big step with Apple Business
Apple announced something special this week. Not a new device, but something that might be even more interesting for many organizations: Apple Business. A completely new platform with which Apple brings all its business services together in one environment. And frankly: this is a development that we at Analyst ICT are following with great interest.
