Can I just bitch and moan about Exchange Server for a second?

Thank you.

This goddamn piece of shit software. How in the hell can a cumulative update for a software package, a goddamn EMAIL SERVER, almost seven gigabytes? Yes, you heard me. SEVEN.

Fuck you, Microsoft. Really.

(this is me having to patch ~30 customer Exchange 2016 servers today. And no, the Exchange CU's aren't distributed via Windows Update.)

I feel with you... exchange-server is a pain...
In my company it's a "must-have" to use microsoft active directory and the exchange - i would love to change to a linux mailserver...
In the past three years i have changed 95% of the systems to linux.

have a nice day and don't let it get you down :-)

Sounds like my xBox; every time I power it on iit wants to download a
gigabyte of updates.

Same thing with our PS4 and the PS3 before that. The PS4 can download updates while being in sleep-mode though which wakes it a tiny tiny bit less painful.
