The Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Mailbox server role can coexist with Exchange Server 2007. If you're upgrading from an Exchange 2007 organization to Exchange 2010, the first server role you will need to upgrade will be the Client Access server role.

Then, after Mailbox servers have been deployed, you can move mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. To move mailboxes to Exchange 2010, you can use either the move request cmdlets or the Exchange Management Console, depending on your Exchange version. For more information about how to move mailboxes, see the following topics:
