Exchange 2007 with Server 2016 Domain controllers

Hi All,

We have server 2008 dc with exchange 2007. We are planning to migrate users to exchange 2013 before migrating them to O365. We are planning to introduce Server 2016 in order to better manage our Windows 10 machines.

I have a few questions:

1 - Would exchange 2007 work fine with Server 2016 domain controllers?
2 - Has anyone faced any major issues with Server 2016 domain controllers?
3 - Should we proceed with Server 2012 R2 as domain controllers or Server 2016 as domain controllers makes sense since we need to better manage our Windows 10 workstations with GPOs?

Thank you

Thank you everyone for your contribution. You guys have been very amazing. We will be keeping our Domain and forest funtional levels at 2008 R2 but need the server 2016 to better manage our Windows 10 workstations as server 2012 R2 is also quiet older than windows 10. We faced lots of issues when trying to manage our win 10 workstations using gpo.
