Exchange 2013 CU9 has been released to the Microsoft download centre! Exchange 2013 has a different servicing strategy than Exchange 2007/2010 and utilises Cumulative Updates (CUs) rather than the Rollup Updates (RU/UR) which were used previously. CUs are a complete installation of Exchange 2013 and can be used to install a fresh server or to update a previously installed one. Exchange 2013 SP1 was in effect CU4, and CU9 is the fifth post SP1 release.
This is build 15.00.11104.005 of Exchange 2013 and the update is helpfully named Exchange2013-x64-cu9.exe. Which is a great improvement over the initial CUs that all had the same file name! Details for the release are contained in KB3049849.
Whether or not your AD Schema needs to be updated depends upon your initial Exchange 2013 version. This will dictate if the AD Schema needs to be modified. Check the values as noted in this post.
As with previous CUs, CU9 follows the new servicing paradigm which was previously discussed on the blog. The CU9 package can be used to perform a new installation, or to upgrade an existing Exchange Server 2013 installation to CU9. You do not need to install Cumulative Update 1 or 2 for Exchange Server 2013 when you are installing CU9. Cumulative Updates are well, cumulative. What else can I say
Please enjoy the update responsibly!
