Reading through Microsoft Articles can be soooo lengthy. I I just used this migration strategy.
If you have some money to spend there are 3rd party utilities that can export Notes Client .nsf databases into .pst files which you can then transfer to your Exchange server, but again I did this:
Step1:Connected Microsoft Outlook with the Lotus Domino Server using IMAP, which works a breeze. You use your same username and password for Notes (the user will be "James Brown" with a space like you enter it from lotus webmail)
Step2:Then I connected the Outlook with MS Exchange. Therefore I had my Outlook connected to both servers in the same time, and you will be giving access to both mailboxes.
(Obvioulsy you must have Exchange and Domino on 2 separate servers)
Then I simply chose+copy the folders from the IMAP connection and pasted them into the exchange folders.
The only problem that there are is with the contacts.
The contacts you would need some utility or otherwise export them as .csv from Notes and import them in the Outlook contacts.
I hope you find this helpful.(I did it myself with 100% uptime. Itis the safest practice than to install connectors in Exchange/Domino etc. and meet migration errors which can be very complicated.
