The 70-345 : Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 exam is the one and only Exchange 2016 exam required to get your Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) Productivity Certification. This 70-345 study guide was created to help you find materials to study, and ace the exam. I will share both free and paid options, whether books, video training or simply links to articles and blog posts. I will not share any dumps as those are against the Microsoft Terms of Service, and by using dumps, we decrease the value of our certifications.
