Be advised that this CU includes a Managed Availability probe configuration that may be frequently restarting the Microsoft Exchange Shared Cache Service in some environments. More information, see KB2971467.


This Cumulative Update includes schema and AD changes, so make sure you runPrepareSchema / PrepareAD. After updating, the schema version will be ….


Note that Cumulative Updates can be installed directly, i.e. no need to install RTM or Service Packs prior to installing Cumulative Updates. Note that once installed, you can’t uninstall a Cumulative Update nor any of the installed Exchange server roles. The order of upgrading servers is irrelevant, unlike with previous generations of Exchange.


Finally, and I can’t emphasize this enough: For any Hotfix, Rollup, Service Pack or Cumulative Update, I’d recommend to thoroughly test this in a test and acceptance environment first, prior to implementing it in production. When you lack such facilities, hold out a week or two and monitor the comments on the release article or TechNet forum for any issues.
