april 2025 hotfix
About this tag
The April 2025 hotfix is a critical update for Exchange Server environments, particularly for organizations running hybrid deployments with Exchange Online. Microsoft has issued urgent guidance requiring administrators to install this hotfix as part of the migration to the dedicated Exchange hybrid app. Without it, organizations face temporary disruptions to free/busy lookups, MailTips, and profile picture sharing during enforcement windows starting in September 2025. The hotfix also supports the broader transition away from Exchange Server 2016 and 2019, which reach end of support on October 14, 2025. Applying the April 2025 hotfix is a prerequisite for maintaining secure, uninterrupted coexistence between on-premises and cloud mailboxes.
