Outlook Exchange Mac Os
Before you install Exchange Server 2019, we recommend that you review this topic to ensure your network, hardware, software, clients, and other elements meet the requirements for Exchange 2019. Also, make sure you understand the coexistence scenarios that are supported for Exchange 2019 and earlier versions of Exchange.
I gave this a go back in 2016 when Microsoft announced PowerShell was available for Linux and Mac, but it was just a bit of a ballache so I kind of gave up. 2017-8-23 It is my understanding that Outlook for Mac will not sync Outlook.com's contacts or calendar due format incompatibility. I heard that Outlook.com accounts would be converted to Exchange this spring, not sure if this is true, but I am hoping that this will allow me to sync contacts and calendar with my Mac (Outlook for Mac). Please suggest me we have 3 users are sitting in outside of country and they are using MAC PC we want to configure outlook of these users. We are using exchange 2016. Ensure that you have a published A records for Autodiscover and EWS (generally, it should be mail.domain.com). Don't forget to configure your EWS virtual directory external URL since.
To actually install Exchange 2019, see Deploy new installations of Exchange.

Supported hybrid deployment scenarios for Exchange 2019
Exchange 2019 supports hybrid deployments with Office 365 tenants that have been upgraded to the latest version of Office 365. For more information about specific hybrid deployments, see Hybrid deployment prerequisites.
Network and directory server requirements for Exchange 2019
The requirements for the network and the directory servers in your Exchange 2019 organization are described in the following table:
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Domain controllers | All domain controllers in the forest need to be running one of the following versions of Windows Server: • Windows Server 2019 Standard or Datacenter • Windows Server 2016 Standard or Datacenter • Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard or Datacenter |
| Active Directory forest | The Active Directory forest functional level is Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher. |
| Active Directory site | The Active Directory site where you install the Exchange Server must contain at least one writeable domain controller that's also a global catalog server, or the installation will fail. Furthermore, you can't install the Exchange server and then remove the domain controller from the Active Directory site. |
| DNS namespace | Exchange 2019 supports the following DNS namespaces: • Contiguous • Noncontiguous • Single label domains • Disjoint For more information about DNS namespaces that are supported by Exchange, see KB2269838. |
| IPv6 | Exchange 2013 and later support IPv6 only when IPv4 is also installed and enabled on the Exchange server. If you deploy Exchange in this configuration, and your network supports IPv4 and IPv6, all Exchange servers can send data to and receive data from devices, servers, and clients that use IPv6 addresses. For more information, see IPv6 Support in Exchange 2013. |
Directory server architecture for Exchange 2019
Active Directory domain controllers on 64-bit hardware with a 64-bit version of Windows Server will increase directory service performance for Exchange 2019.
Installing Exchange 2019 on directory servers
For security and performance reasons, we don't recommend installing Exchange 2019 on Active Directory directory servers. Only install Exchange 2019 on member servers.
To learn more about the issues that you'll encounter when you install Exchange on a directory server, see Installing Exchange on a domain controller is not recommended [WarningInstallExchangeRolesOnDomainController]. After Exchange is installed, changing the server role from a member server to a directory server or vice-versa isn't supported.
