December 2021 Exchange Server Cumulative Updates postponed

Looks like Exchange On Prem is finalized with no code changes.

Will there be a CU23 for Exch 2016? Or are we done here? 

It has been 6 months since last CU for Exchange. Is there any updates on when we can expect next one to be releasing?

10 weeks later ...........

...customers keep asking and I hoped the "later time" in "We will share more information about our next CU release at a later time." might have come in the meantime after more than 7 weeks ...

Also replicating the question of release dates for the latest CU's ?

Any news on the original topic? When will the "December" CUs be released?

thanks

Will there be an Exchange Cumulative Update coming this month?  If so will it be for both Exchange 2019 and 2016 and are we waiting for the 3rd Tuesday for it to be announced and released?

For what its worth, I just completed doing this fix to 5 separate exchange systems and the fix ranged from successful to unsuccessful, .. and not updated.  So the steps that definitely made a difference.

1. Run as administrator.

2. Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.

3. Manually close Microsoft Filtering Management service and make sure Transport is also stopped, and manually end task updateservice. (The script does not wait long enough and errors popup, so do it manually before your run the script.

4. Run update-MalwareFilteringServer.ps1 from the scripts folder.

Some went through without a hitch, connection seemed good while some the connection timed out, my guess is Microsoft is getting bombarded with connections.  So I checked Get-EngineUpdateInformation and if I do not have successful I run it again. Eventually I get a good connection to download the update and the update completes, the ones that I are still not working I am bypassing filtering to empty the queues and then I run again and it worked. I them turn filtering back on. 

Hope this helps anyone out there
