Quite recently the preview of Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 was released. This version is promised to deliver security, reliable performance and improved administration along with management capabilities. Generally, there is a pattern that new features are first introduced in Exchange Online and later in on-premises Exchange. For on-premises users, it is either used as an entirely new release, or introduced to them as cumulative updates. Here’s what to expect from the latest Exchange Server 2019 according to its public preview:

1. Windows Server 2012 R2 is the minimum requirement of an Operating system and Active Directory in order to use Exchange Server 2019. If the Exchange Server is released to manufacturing later in 2018, chances are that the minimum OS supported shall be set to Windows Server 2016
2. All those features that were deprecated in the last version of Exchange Server, i.e. Microsoft Exchange Server 2016, will be removed entirely in Microsoft Exchange Server 2019
3. Microsoft Exchange Server has been available for installation on Windows Server Core. It shall provide the most secure platform for Exchange. There is also an option to install Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 onto Windows Server 2016 or 2019 Desktop Experience.
4. Microsoft Exchange Server can run up to 48 processor cores and 256 GB of RAM. That is something very hard to achieve as yet, but the system has been developed so as to function with that properly.
5. Bing technology has been used to make search performance better. This has been re-engineered and the outcome is a whole lot better search. This has made administration easier and database failovers faster.
6. Exchange Online has been using Solid State Drives. It is an alternative to the currently used drives and it is much cost effective in comparison. They are being used in addition to spinning disks to make performance better. Key search data is being kept at the SSDs to make logins and other operations faster. SSDs are used intelligently in order to make overall user experience faster.
7. Calendaring has been included in Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 in improved form. A simplified Calendar sharing is important with features like Simplified Calendar Sharing from Microsoft Office 365 and also to On-Premises Exchange. This facilitates administrators to manage events directly on user’s calendars and in this way, delegate permissions are assigned more easily.

It has been seen that Microsoft follows a pattern of first releasing new features for Exchange Online before the features are introduced in Exchange on-premises in a later release or frequent upgrade for the on premises users. This year again, the much anticipated features for on-premise users are about to be previewed towards the mid of 2018 and will be finally released in the latest Microsoft Exchange 2019 towards the end of 2018. This release is expected to depict improvements in four different areas: Security, Manageability, Usability and Compliance.

Let’s have a look at what the upcoming features of Exchange 2019 are. All the features listed below revolve around the aforementioned four basic domains of improvement in MS Exchange.

Protocol improvements

The improved MAPIhttp protocol will prevail in the next release of Exchange 2019. It is also supported by all Outlook Clients. It means that the deprecated feature from last release, RPC-over-HTTP shall be removed in the upcoming release as it is needless now.

Scalability

Scalability has been a focus of this release as mentioned in the Exchange 2019 preview. The scalability of public folders is also expected in this release. However, feature wise there are no such expectations amongst public folders.

Migration

As provided in the previous versions of Exchange Server, Migrations are expected to be seamless in this release as well. A capability to migrate from Exchange Sever 2013 or 2016 side-by-side is expected to see in future.

Cross premises challenges

Challenges like delegates, sharing of calendar and events between Exchange Online and Exchange on-premises need to be catered and Exchange 2019 is expected to show some improvements in this domain.

What is NOT EXPECTED?

Groups

It is analyzed that the feature of Office 365 Groups is not, in the long run, going to be a beneficial feature for Exchange Server clients. So the introduction of Groups for a cross-collaborative on-premises experience is not expected in this release. Groups are a thing of the cloud and only then they can be beneficial, the feature can stay with Exchange Online but not on-premises.
