Difference between the Exchange Server 2010/2013 and Exchange 2016 Server



Difference between the Exchange Server 2010/2013 and Exchange 2016 Server


So in this article series, I am going to introduce you about the Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 new enhancements and the features that have been removed or replaced in Exchange 2016.
This is the first article of this series and here I am going to introduce you about the features which are discontinued from legacy Exchange versions, like: 2010 & 2013.

Finally after a long wait, Microsoft launch Exchange Server brand new version called “Microsoft Exchange 2016” with lots of new features and also remove some of previous version features.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 mostly focused on cloud technologies and provide a fully compatibility with all the Microsoft cloud services, like: Office 365, Microsoft Azure and many mores, which helps organizations to reduce the cost.

                     What’s discontinued in Exchange Server 2016

Discontinued features from Exchange Server 2013:

CAS Server Role: The Client Access server role has been replaced by Client Access services that run on the Mailbox server role. The Mailbox server role now performs all functionality that was previously included with the Client Access server role.

MAPI/CDO library: The MAPI/CDO library has been replaced by Exchange Web Services (EWS), Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), and Representational State Transfer (REST)* APIs. If an application uses the MAPI/CDO library, it needs to move to EWS, EAS, or the REST APIs to communicate with Exchange 2016.
The following features are being de-emphasized in Exchange 2016 and may not be included in future versions of Exchange.

Ø  Third-party replication APIs
Ø  RPC over HTTP
Ø  Database Availability Group support for failover cluster administrative access points
  

Discontinued features from Exchange Server 2010:

There are lots of features which were also discontinued from Exchange Server 2013 also but if we compare with the Exchange 2016, this list increased more no of removal or replaced features.
Here are the table for the discontinued features in Exchange 2016 from Exchange 2010.

 
Features

Comments and mitigation
HUB Role
The Hub Transport server role has been replaced by Transport services which run on the Mailbox server role. The Mailbox server role includes the Microsoft Exchange Transport, Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Transport Delivery, the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Transport Submission, and the Microsoft Exchange Frontend Transport service.

UM Role
The Unified Messaging server role has been replaced by Unified Messaging services which run on the Mailbox and Client Access server roles. The Mailbox server role includes the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service and the Client Access server role includes the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging Call Router service.

MAPI/CDO library
The MAPI/CDO library has been replaced by Exchange Web Services (EWS), Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), and Representational State Transfer (REST)* APIs. If an application uses the MAPI/CDO library, it needs to move to EWS, EAS, or the REST APIs to communicate with Exchange 2016.

EMC and ECP
The Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Control Panel have been replaced by the Exchange Admin Center (EAC). EAC uses the same virtual directory (/ecp) as the Exchange Control Panel

Legacy Outlook 2003 version not supported

To connect Microsoft Outlook to Exchange 2016, the use of the Autodiscover service is required. However, Microsoft Outlook 2003 doesn’t support the use of the Autodiscover service.
RPC/TCP access for Outlook clients
In Exchange 2016, Microsoft Outlook clients can connect using Outlook Anywhere (RPC/HTTP) or MAPI over HTTP Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 and later. If you have Outlook clients in your organization, using Outlook Anywhere and/or MAPI over HTTP is required.

Linked connectors
The ability to link a Send connector to a Receive connector has been removed. Specifically, theLinkedReceiveConnector parameter has been removed from New-SendConnector and Set-SendConnector.

Anti-spam agent management in the EMC
In Exchange 2010, when you enabled the anti-spam agents on a Hub Transport server, you could manage the anti-spam agents in the Exchange Management Console (EMC). In Exchange 2016, when you enable the anti-spam agents on a Mailbox server, you can't manage the agents using the EAC. You can only use the Shell. For information about how to enable the anti-spam agents on a Mailbox server

Connection Filtering agent on Hub Transport servers
In Exchange 2010, when you enabled the anti-spam agents on a Hub Transport server, the Attachment Filter agent was the only anti-spam agent that wasn't available. In Exchange 2016, when you enable the anti-spam agents on a Mailbox server, the Attachment Filter agent and the Connection Filtering agent aren't available. The Connection Filtering agent provides IP Allow List and IP Block List capabilities.

Managed Folders
In Exchange 2010, you use managed folders for messaging retention management (MRM). In Exchange 2016, managed folders aren’t supported. You must use retention policies for MRM.

Port Managed Folder wizard
In Exchange 2010, you use the Port Managed Folder wizard to create retention tags based on managed folder and managed content settings. In Exchange 2016, the Exchange admin center doesn’t include this functionality. You can use the New-RetentionPolicyTag cmdlet with the ManagedFolderToUpgrade parameter to create a retention tag based on a managed folder.

Directory lookups using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
In Exchange 2010, Outlook Voice Access users can use speech inputs using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to search for users listed in the directory. Speech inputs could be also used in Outlook Voice Access to navigate menus, messages, and other options. However, even if an Outlook Voice Access user is able to use speech inputs, they have to use the telephone key pad to enter their PIN, and navigate personal options.
In Exchange 2016, authenticated and non-authenticated Outlook Voice Access users can’t search for users in the directory using speech inputs or ASR in any language. However, callers that call into an auto attendant can use speech inputs in multiple languages to navigate auto attendant menus and search for users in the directory.
