Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 R2 does not seem to have any problems with the update. OWA with Chrome and Internet Explorer work fine. Apparently in my ... Read more
In Exchange environments with DAG and multiple database copies, the databases should normally be distributed evenly across the database servers. However, this situation can change if a failover has occurred or the databases have been activated on other servers for maintenance purposes.

E-Mail Made in Germany, NSA scandal, warning letters for mail server operators etc etc etc... Encryption is currently on everyone's lips. But it's not enough just to quickly attach a certificate to the Exchange server.
