Carve out some time to install this security update on your on-premises servers.There are several different ways to obtain update and hotfix information via PowerShell. Don’t let your server be compromised because of a known and patched vulnerability. Last year’s Hafnium experience taught everyone how quickly attackers can exploit unpatched servers. Microsoft says that the step is necessary “because of additional security hardening work for CVE-2022-21978,” which is one of the vulnerabilities addressed by the updates. You only need to run /PrepareAllDomains once per organization (not after updating each server) and the change applies to all servers within the organization. The account used to run /PrepareAllDomains must be a member of the Enterprise Admins security group. This command makes sure that the domains in your Active Directory forest are prepared for Exchange server. The last point of note is that Microsoft emphasizes the need to run the Exchange server installation program with the /PrepareAllDomains switch AFTER installing the security update. Auto-elevation of permissions should address the issue. Microsoft notes that this can leave an Exchange server “ in a bad state,” which is putting it mildly. The reason for the change is that Microsoft receives support calls when administrators have problems applying security updates, many of which are because the installation runs without sufficient permissions.

This is in addition to the existing Windows Installer Patch format. In a separate post, Microsoft explains that they are now releasing security updates and hotfixes as self-extracting auto-elevating executables.

The big caveat here is that this is only possible after the installation of Exchange 2019 CU12.

As you’ll recall, Microsoft recently released an update to allow organizations to remove the last physical Exchange server in a hybrid environment. Figure 1: Vulnerabilities fixed in the Exchange Server May 2022 Security Updates Exchange Online and Hybrid ServersĪpart from upgrading hybrid servers used with Exchange Online, no further action is necessary to protect Exchange Online. It looks as if the problems are all elevation of privilege, which isn’t good news because this kind of problem can allow attackers to take complete control of servers.

Microsoft says that they are unaware of any attackers exploiting the vulnerabilities, but the nature of the beast is that once people learn about software vulnerabilities, the affected servers become candidates for compromise.ĭetails of the vulnerabilities fixed are available in the Microsoft Security Response Center (Figure 1). It’s therefore important to install the security updates as quickly as possible, especially on any Exchange server connected to the internet.

The updates address known vulnerabilities, which means that they fix problems known to exist in the wild.
