How to Perform an Exchange Server Switchover  - Step by step with screenshots 

An Exchange server switchover is a task that you perform to move all active mailbox database copies from their current Mailbox server to one or more other Mailbox servers in a database availability group (DAG). This task is performed as part of preparation for a scheduled outage for the current Mailbox server. In this example, we use the EMC to perform a server switchover

1. In the EMC console tree, navigate to Server Configuration > Mailbox.

2. In the result pane, select the Mailbox server you want.

3. In the action pane, select Switchover Server.

4. In the Switchover server database copies dialog box, do one of the following:

a. Accept the default setting of Automatically choose a target server (in which case, the system automatically selects the best Mailbox server for each database being switched over), and then click OK.

b. Click Use the specified server as the target for switchover, click Browse to select a Mailbox server, and then click OK.
