Applies to: Exchange Server 2016

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Setup can’t continue because it detected one or more Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 servers haven’t been upgraded to Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Exchange Server 2010. Before you can install Exchange 2016, all Exchange 2010 servers in your organization must be upgraded to Exchange 2010 SP3. This requirement includes Exchange 2010 Edge Transport servers. For more information, see Upgrade from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.

Important

After you upgrade your Exchange 2010 Edge Transport servers to Exchange 2010 SP3, you must re-create the Edge subscription between your Exchange organization and each Edge Transport server to update their server version in Active Directory. For more information about re-creating Edge subscriptions in Exchange 2010, see Managing Edge Subscriptions.
