On your management node, create a JSON file that defines how Hosted Exchange 2016 module resources must be swapped with Hosted Exchange application resources. You will use this file to run scripts in later steps.
Use the format below for this file. Note that you can also use the sample file switch_to_app_settings_sample.json shipped with the application.
