Hello all,
I have Exchange 2010 SP2 UR2 (Enterprise edition)
CAS & Hub transport running on one server (Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise)
Mailbox running on one server (Windows 2008 R2 Standard)
Goal is to upgrade Windows to Enterprise edition on mailbox server.
I understand I cannot upgrade from Standard to Enterprise using "DISM /online /Set-Edition"
So, I have built another VM with Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise and installed Exchange with mailbox role.
I know one way I can move mailbox to new server is using "New-MoveRequest", but this will take a long time.
I came across "Database Portability" explained here:

This looks simple and straight forward and quick since both mailbox servers are in same AD-domain and on same SAN.
Am checking to see if any one here has experienced any problems with this?
Thank you!
