Moving Exchange 2010 DB to another machine

Question

I'm attempting to move a 110GB Exchange database off of a old machine (see below for specs) to a newer machine ( see below for specs). I've successfully linked the new machine to the old machine's domain and have Active Directory synced perfectly.
What is the proper way to go about this? I followed Microsoft documentation on it to no success.
Specs:
Old: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 (yuck) 8GB RAM 1 1TB HDD
New: Windows Servers 2008 R2 Standard SP1 Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 16 GB 2 1TB HDDs

Answer 1

Hello,
For standalone database (without DAG) the best option is:
1. Create new mailbox database on the new server.
2. Move all mailboxes to new database using New-MoveRequest or Exchange Management Console:
3. Remove empty old database.
Hope it helps,
Adam
