Cumulative Update 1 for Exchange 2016 has been out since 03/15 but I didn’t get a chance to write about it. Below you will find some step how to roll it out in your environment. Of course it has a number of fixes and that’s the reason you need to update you server. The server patching process is different on a single exchange server 2016 and in a environment where you have more than one server and running DAG and CAS behind the load balancer. For a HA environment , you will need to plan accordingly.
This is one of the example when you run this cmdlet on Exchange 2016 prior to CU 1
