Known issues in this update

• Issue 1

When you try to manually install this security update by double-clicking the update file (.msp) to run it in Normal mode (that is, not as an administrator), some files are not correctly updated.When this issue occurs, you don’t receive an error message or any indication that the security update was not correctly installed. However, Outlook Web Access (OWA) and the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) might stop working.

This issue occurs on servers that are using User Account Control (UAC). The issue occurs because the security update doesn’t correctly stop certain Exchange-related services.

**Note:**This issue does not occur if you install the update through Microsoft Update.

To avoid this issue, follow these steps to manually install this security update:

1. Select Start, and typecmd.
2. In the results, right-click Command Prompt, and then selectRun as administrator.
3. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, verify that the default action is the action that you want, and then selectContinue.
4. Type the full path of the .msp file, and then press Enter.

• Issue 2

Exchange services might remain in a disabled state after you install this security update. This condition does not indicate that the update is not installed correctly. This condition might occur if the service control scripts experience a problem when they try to return Exchange services to their usual state.

To fix this issue, use Services Manager to restore the startup type to Automatic, and then start the affected Exchange services manually. To avoid this issue, run the security update at an elevated command prompt. For more information about how to open an elevated Command Prompt window, see Start a Command Prompt as an Administrator.

• Issue 3

When you block third-party cookies in a web browser, you might be continually prompted to trust a particular add-in even though you keep selecting the option to trust it. This issue occurs also in privacy window modes (such as InPrivate mode in Microsoft Edge). This issue occurs because browser restrictions prevent the response from being recorded. To record the response and enable the add-in, you must enable third-party cookies for the domain that’s hosting OWA or Office Online Server in the browser settings. To enable this setting, refer to the specific support documentation for the browser.

• Issue 4

When you try to request free/busy information for a user in a different forest in a trusted cross-forest topology, the request fails and generates a “(400) Bad Request” error message. For more information and workarounds to this issue, see “(400) Bad Request” error during Autodiscover for per-user free/busy in a trusted cross-forest topology.
