Can we expect Exchange 2013 CU3 and 2010 SP3 RU3 soon? Keep watching KB2891587 and KB2892464!

UPDATE 2013/11/20: It looks like the links currently don’t work
anymore, possibly because they referenced a non-released update. That’s
too bad, but even when the update is not available yet this kind of
information is still quite valuable (something I pointed out in a comment on the Exchange Team Blog The Road Ahead post)

Just about an hour ago I saw a bunch of Knowledge base articles published for Exchange 2013 issues. All of them are fixed by Cumulative Update 3 which even has a link and description:

• 2892464 Description of Cumulative Update 3 for Exchange Server 2013

One even has a reference to Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup Update 3:

• 2891587 Description of Update Rollup 3 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3

Both are currently not working, but this is a good indication that it it’s release is imminent. But below are the KB’s that mention issues for 2013 (and one for 2010):

• 2890650  Items in the Drafts folder are not stamped with the retention policy tag in an Exchange Server 2010 or 2013 environment
• 2888612 Retention policy does not work after you run a cmdlet in an Exchange Server 2013 environment
• 2889786 Sign-in format for Outlook Web App on mobile devices is not adjusted according to the Set-OwaVirtualDerictory cmdlet in an Exchange Server 2013 environment (typo is not mine )
• 2895487 "Copy Search Results" option does not work in an Exchange server 2013 environment
• 2895678 "Nombre de usuario\dominio" is displayed unexpectedly on the Spanish version of the OWA and EAC logon pages in an Exchange Server 2013 environment

• 2902939 EMS connection error when you separately install an Exchange Server 2013 Mailbox server and a Client Access server
• 2902938 You cannot preview Office documents in shared folders by using Outlook Web App in an Exchange Server 2013 environment
• 2888315 Event 2112 or 2180 is logged when you try to back up a database in an Exchange Server 2013 environment
• 2895500 DBCS characters appear garbled when you run some PowerShell scripts in EMS in an Exchange Server 2013 environment
• 2902929 You cannot forward an external meeting request in an Exchange Server 2013 environment

Very interesting, I think one of the KB’s could fix an issue I’m currently experiencing although it’s occurring in Office 365.

Issues fixed by Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3 are:

• 2879320 Retention action setting is not updated in FAI items by running the Set-RetentionPolicyTag cmdlet in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
• 2840454 "The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange" error when you manage rules by using Outlook 2013 in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
• 2839533 RPC Client Access service freezes in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

• 2882677 BlackBerry device is not redirected in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
• 2874070 Public folders are exposed although the user does not have rights to see the parent folders in an Exchange Server 2010 SP3 environment

There are probably more issues fixed, but these were the articles I could find.
