A fresh telemetry snapshot from remote‑support sessions underscores a stark reality: as Microsoft’s Windows 10 support deadline approaches, a large share of real‑world endpoints remain on an OS that will soon stop receiving routine security patches—creating an urgent migration and...

On October 14, 2025, support for Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2019 ends — one month from now — and organizations that delay face escalating operational risk, loss of security updates, and an increasingly narrow set of safe upgrade paths. Microsoft’s Exchange engineering team has...

Microsoft is taking the first concrete step in its phased enforcement of the dedicated Exchange hybrid app requirement: on September 16, 2025 at 07:00 UTC Microsoft will temporarily block Exchange Web Services (EWS) traffic that uses the Exchange Online shared service principal for hybrid...
Microsoft’s Exchange team published a short but important Hotfix Update (HU) rollup for September 2025 that is aimed at fixing a non‑security issue in earlier updates and, crucially, preserves support for the dedicated Exchange hybrid application workflow introduced earlier in 2025 — the update...

Microsoft has begun a strict, time‑boxed push to move Exchange hybrid customers off a Microsoft‑managed shared service principal and onto a dedicated Exchange hybrid app in Entra ID — a change driven by a high‑severity hybrid vulnerability and enforced through short, scheduled EWS traffic blocks...
Microsoft’s Exchange team has taken a decisive step toward finally letting organizations retire the last Exchange server in hybrid environments by adding cloud-managed remote mailbox support — a per-mailbox “flip-the-switch” that transfers Exchange attribute authority to Exchange Online while...
Microsoft's updated Exchange hybrid guidance — and a last‑minute change to the enforcement cadence — should be on every hybrid admin’s radar: the Exchange team has expanded the push to migrate hybrid traffic away from the long‑standing Exchange Online shared service principal into a tenant‑owned...
Microsoft’s Exchange team has given hybrid administrators a clear-but-urgent migration mandate: switch to the dedicated Exchange hybrid app and update on‑prem servers now, or face temporary disruptions in September and October followed by a permanent enforcement that will stop rich coexistence...

Microsoft’s August Patch Tuesday landed as a heavy, cross‑cutting security package that mixes high‑severity remote code execution (RCE) flaws, a publicly disclosed Kerberos elevation‑of‑privilege issue, and several cloud‑centric patches that were already mitigated on the service side—creating a...
A Microsoft Security Update Guide entry for CVE-2025-33051 describes an information disclosure vulnerability affecting Microsoft Exchange Server, and the appearance of that CVE on the vendor’s advisory should put any on‑premises Exchange administrator on high alert. At the time of writing...
