And so it begins. Few moments ago, the Exchange team published the public preview of Exchange 2016. The build number of the preview version is 15.1.225.17.
The team’s post contains information on the changes and features introduced in Exchange 2016. Many of these were already announced at Ignite earlier this year. An earlier blog post on these announcements can be found here. Some important deviations from the Ignite announcements:
- Minimum required Forest Functional Level (FFL) and Domain Functional Level (DFL) is Windows Server 2008, not Windows Server 2008 R2.
Meanwhile, the technical library on TechNet has been updated with information on Exchange 2016. Be advised that this documentation may be incomplete and subject to change, and in fact may even be not on par with the preview product.
Some links to get you started:
- Download the Exchange 2016 Preview
- Announcement from the Exchange team
- Technical documentation on TechNet
- Active Directory schema changes
Needless to say, this is a preview. It’s great to play with in a lab, but don’t install it in your production environment unless you are part of the TAP program.
