    Hi Prabhat. How are you?
    I just noticed that whatever you say here should have a date or its gets very confusing as to when it was said. Like the recent article about installation of exchange. You state that
    “The below text in the screenshot clearly say we are not ready yet for Exchange on Windows 2016. So please hold your deployments until you hear from us.”

    So when should we actually install and when was this said. Now its 2017 and there have been hundreds of install of exchange.
    Alright
    Thats all
    Cheers
