Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 CU18 x64 Multilingual

The Microsoft product team is pleased to announce the availability of Cumulative Update 18 to Exchange Server 2016. This cumulative update includes fixes for nonsecurity issues and all previously released fixes for security and nonsecurity issues.

Exchange Server 2016 CU18 Build 15.01.2106.002 – Release date: June 16, 2020.

Exchange Server 2016 includes a number of advanced features for organizations to have a resilient deployment of email across multiple customer sites. It is closely integrated into other products such as Office, SharePoint, Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync) and Office 365, and it shares a similar interface to Exchange Server 2013.
Many of the features in Exchange 2016 were first deployed in the cloud with Office 365 before coming to the on-premises version of Exchange. However, some features such as Clutter won’t be included because they require Office Graph to work.

Exchange 2016 includes improved features and capabilities from previous versions of Exchange. These include a faster database availability group (DAG) failover time, which dropped from about 30 seconds to about 18 seconds, and a 22% lower input/output operations per second (IOPS) from Exchange 2013.

Exchange 2016 combines the mailbox and Client Access Server (CAS) roles, which should allow for simpler designs and architecture. It also includes support for BitLocker to provide additional protection for data at rest as well as enhancements to support hybrid Exchange setups.

Exchange team veteran Greg Taylor explains how the on-premises version of Exchange 2016 benefits from the proven cloud-based features and functionality of Exchange Online.
