Hello,
I am a full-time Exchange server consultant with many years of experience. I will take care of your Exchange server requirements and there will be no mistakes, as you might find some other contractors who are not as experienced.
I put 2 days down as the time required. I will only need 1 day to perform the install and configuration. I added a second day to give you time to make the necessary changes to your DNS and firewall and then I can test after that. It can all be done in 1 day but I put 2 days in case you are not available.
We will need a healthy VM environment and Active Directory to get started. This project assumes that you have the hardware and can setup the VM guest for the Exchange 2013 server and install the operating system.
I will take care of the Exchange server installation and configuration. I will also document exactly what DNS changes and firewall changes have to be made so that this new server will be the primary email server, meaning all email will be sent and received through this server, and all client connections will be through this server.
I will also setup the mailbox databases that you require and can setup some mailboxes for you to help you get started.
I will not be transferring data from the old email server and I will not migrate public folders, if you have any. If you would like me to take care of these items as well, there would be an additional charge.
Thank you,
Kevin
