If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​still​ ​running​ ​Exchange​ ​Server​ ​2003,​ ​then​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​fast​ ​track​ ​your​ ​Office​ ​365 migration,​ ​because​ ​Exchange​ ​2003​ ​stopped​ ​being​ ​supported​ ​by​ ​Microsoft​ ​in​ ​2014.​ ​What's more,​ ​most​ ​Exchange​ ​Server​ ​2003​ ​systems​ ​are​ ​running​ ​on​ ​Windows​ ​Server​ ​2003​ ​and​ ​this​ ​will also​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​be​ ​supported​ ​by​ ​Microsoft​ ​after​ ​June​ ​2015.​ ​These​ ​two​ ​events​ ​mean​ ​your​ ​system will​ ​be​ ​increasingly​ ​open​ ​to​ ​external​ ​hacker​ ​attacks​ ​as​ ​security​ ​breaches​ ​are​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​being fixed​ ​by​ ​Windows​ ​updates. In​ ​addition,​ ​unless​ ​you​ ​have​ ​moved​ ​your​ ​server​ ​to​ ​a​ ​virtual​ ​environment​ ​sometime​ ​over​ ​the​ ​last few​ ​years,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​very​ ​likely​ ​that​ ​your​ ​physical​ ​file​ ​server​ ​is​ ​also​ ​out​ ​of​ ​warranty,​ ​running​ ​slowly, nearing​ ​its​ ​disk​ ​capacity​ ​and​ ​beginning​ ​to​ ​suffer​ ​reliability​ ​issues. Migration​ ​from​ ​Exchange​ ​2003​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​can​ ​still​ ​be​ ​safely​ ​done,​ ​however​ ​there​ ​is​ ​often​ ​an extra​ ​problem​ ​to​ ​be​ ​overcome​ ​concerning​ ​Microsoft​ ​Outlook.​ ​Many​ ​organizations​ ​that​ ​are running​ ​Exchange​ ​2003​ ​are​ ​also​ ​running​ ​Office​ ​2003.​ ​The​ ​good​ ​news​ ​is​ ​that​ ​moving​ ​to​ ​Office 365​ ​presents​ ​a​ ​great​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​also​ ​replace​ ​Office​ ​2003​ ​by​ ​choosing​ ​an​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​plan​ ​that includes​ ​Office​ ​2013​ ​-​ ​for​ ​example​ ​the​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​Business​ ​Premium​ ​plan. The​ ​bad​ ​news​ ​is​ ​you​ ​have​ ​a​ ​chicken​ ​and​ ​egg​ ​situation​ ​because​ ​Office​ ​2003​ ​in​ ​general​ ​-​ ​and Outlook​ ​2003​ ​in​ ​particular​ ​-​ ​does​ ​not​ ​work​ ​with​ ​Office​ ​365.​ ​This​ ​means​ ​that​ ​during​ ​the​ ​migration process​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​decide​ ​between​ ​upgrading​ ​your​ ​email​ ​system​ ​first,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​not​ ​being​ ​able to​ ​access​ ​it​ ​until​ ​you've​ ​updated​ ​all​ ​the​ ​computers​ ​to​ ​a​ ​later​ ​version​ ​of​ ​Office​ ​(at​ ​least​ ​office

2007).​ ​Or,​ ​you​ ​upgrade​ ​all​ ​the​ ​computers​ ​to​ ​a​ ​newer​ ​version​ ​of​ ​Office​ ​first,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​do​ ​the migration​ ​of​ ​Exchange​ ​Server​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​365. Whichever​ ​method​ ​you​ ​choose,​ ​there​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​period​ ​of​ ​time​ ​when​ ​users​ ​are​ ​stuck​ ​in​ ​no​ ​man's land​ ​-​ ​they​ ​won't​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​access​ ​their​ ​email​ ​server​ ​from​ ​their​ ​version​ ​of​ ​Outlook.​ ​So​ ​a decision​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​made​ ​-​ ​is​ ​it​ ​best​ ​to​ ​upgrade​ ​Office​ ​first,​ ​or​ ​is​ ​it​ ​best​ ​to​ ​upgrade​ ​the​ ​email server​ ​first?​ ​Real​ ​world​ ​experience​ ​shows​ ​that​ ​it​ ​is​ ​best​ ​in​ ​every​ ​situation​ ​to​ ​upgrade​ ​to​ ​Office 365​ ​first​ ​and​ ​then​ ​upgrade​ ​Office​ ​2003​ ​users​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​2013.​ ​Here's​ ​two​ ​hypothetical​ ​examples to​ ​prove​ ​this​ ​point: Company​ ​A​ ​has​ ​20​ ​staff​ ​with​ ​19​ ​users​ ​running​ ​Outlook​ ​2010​ ​on​ ​their​ ​computers​ ​and​ ​with​ ​only one​ ​user​ ​running​ ​Outlook​ ​2003.​ ​It​ ​would​ ​be​ ​best​ ​to​ ​migrate​ ​the​ ​email​ ​server​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​first, because​ ​only​ ​the​ ​one​ ​user​ ​won't​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​access​ ​the​ ​new​ ​email​ ​server​ ​until​ ​their​ ​version​ ​of Office​ ​gets​ ​upgraded.​ ​And​ ​it​ ​should​ ​take​ ​only​ ​an​ ​hour​ ​or​ ​so​ ​to​ ​get​ ​that​ ​user's​ ​computer upgraded​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​2013. Company​ ​B​ ​also​ ​has​ ​20​ ​staff,​ ​but​ ​in​ ​their​ ​case​ ​19​ ​users​ ​are​ ​on​ ​Office​ ​2003​ ​and​ ​only​ ​one​ ​is​ ​on say​ ​Office​ ​2010.​ ​At​ ​first​ ​glance​ ​this​ ​seems​ ​like​ ​a​ ​problem​ ​-​ ​if​ ​the​ ​Exchange​ ​2003​ ​Server​ ​is migrated​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​first​ ​then​ ​the​ ​19​ ​staff​ ​won't​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​access​ ​their​ ​emails​ ​until​ ​the computers​ ​have​ ​Office​ ​2013​ ​installed.​ ​And​ ​conversely,​ ​if​ ​the​ ​19​ ​computers​ ​are​ ​updated​ ​to​ ​Office 2013​ ​first,​ ​they​ ​won't​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​access​ ​their​ ​emails​ ​until​ ​the​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​migration​ ​process​ ​has been​ ​completed.​ ​Fortunately,​ ​in​ ​this​ ​case​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​very​ ​good​ ​interim​ ​solution​ ​-​ ​users​ ​can​ ​make use​ ​of​ ​OWA​ ​(Outlook​ ​Web​ ​Access)​ ​to​ ​access​ ​their​ ​emails​ ​via​ ​the​ ​browser​ ​until​ ​their​ ​computers are​ ​updated​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​2013.​ ​Indeed,​ ​it​ ​will​ ​also​ ​be​ ​possible​ ​for​ ​them​ ​to​ ​now​ ​have​ ​access​ ​to Office​ ​365​ ​email​ ​on​ ​a​ ​range​ ​of​ ​smartphones​ ​and​ ​tablets​ ​they​ ​may​ ​already​ ​have​ ​like​ ​iPhones, iPads,​ ​Windows​ ​mobile​ ​devices​ ​and​ ​Android​ ​devices. Performing​ ​migrations​ ​to​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​from​ ​later​ ​versions​ ​of​ ​Exchange​ ​are​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​easier​ ​to​ ​action, but​ ​with​ ​a​ ​well-designed​ ​scoping​ ​plan​ ​that​ ​considers​ ​the​ ​implications​ ​of​ ​old​ ​versions​ ​of​ ​Office, the​ ​Exchange​ ​2003​ ​migration​ ​process​ ​can​ ​still​ ​be​ ​performed​ ​in​ ​a​ ​timely​ ​and​ ​cost-effective fashion. It​ ​may​ ​well​ ​be​ ​that​ ​the​ ​best​ ​way​ ​to​ ​assure​ ​your​ ​organization​ ​of​ ​a​ ​successful​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​migration from​ ​Exchange​ ​2003​ ​is​ ​to​ ​use​ ​the​ ​services​ ​of​ ​a​ ​Microsoft​ ​Partner​ ​that​ ​has​ ​Office​ ​365 certifications​ ​and​ ​real-world​ ​experience​ ​in​ ​performing​ ​Office​ ​365​ ​migrations. credit: http://ezinearticles.com/?Migrating-From-Exchange-Server-2003-to-Office-365&id=8999402
