Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 introduces the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant or ExDeploy, a new Web-based tool that can help you with your Exchange deployment. ExDeploy asks you a few questions about your current environment and then generates a custom checklist and procedures that help simplify your deployment. To access ExDeploy, see Exchange Server 2010 Deployment Assistant.

You can use ExDeploy for the following scenarios:

• On-Premises Only
  
  
  • Upgrade from Exchange Server 2003
    
    
  • Upgrade from Exchange 2007
    
    
  • Upgrade from mixed Exchange 2003 and Exchange Server 2007
    
    
  • New installation of Exchange 2010
    
    
  For more information about this scenario, see Deploying Exchange 2010.
