I have recommended to all my clients to wait until SP1 is released and then evaluate the product at that time.
I have done a few of these migrations. I've gotten new clients who have pulled me in to complete the migrations after another consulting company failed. Public folder migrations to "modern public folders" are always difficult. The new EAC looks fine, until you find out that you have to drop to PowerShell to do many of the things you used to could do in EMC. S/MIME isn't present in OWA. ... the list is long.

I see, thanks for the advice. The business reason is really to keep up to date for customer perception. There isn't a set date but February was about the time that fitted into workloads. Are you putting customers off upgrading at the moment then until the fixes are resolved or would you advise to maybe skip a version?

Exchange 2010 is a great, stable, feature-rich product. Exchange 2013 is optimized for the cloud, misses quite a number of on-premises features compared to Exchange 2010, is still relatively buggy, and consumes about twice as many resources as Exchange 2010. Do you have a good business reason for moving to Exchange 2013?

Does anyone know of a really good document for upgrading\coexisting exchange 2010 to 2013 including moving smtp, public folders, everything step by step? Also a little concerned about public folders moving 100 gig to 2013, I found in 2003/2007 you had to do in stages as it stopped email while it was coping across. Any issues seen from 2010 to 2013 or will it trickle across?
