In my role as a PFE for Microsoft, I have been going through many deployments of Exchange 2016 from Exchange 2010 due to the end of life deadline for Exchange 2010. I am actually in the middle of three enterprise level deployments this month.
Because of this, I wanted to provide some MUST READ links with consideration to the Exchange 2016 Deployment process. Please click on the links below, and they will take you to the documentation needed when preparing for a Exchange 2016 migration and deployment from Exchange 2010.
IMPORTANT READ:
Exchange On-Premises Best Practices for migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016 (Lots of important links and articles within this document!)
Other relevant articles:

Hybrid Considerations:

I will add more articles as they become relevant in my experiences with my customers and feel they could be relevant here as well. If you have a suggestion for a link that should be considered added to this post, feel free to leave a comment!
