Help us Improve the Exchange Server Update Experience

1. I believe that the Exchange server should notify the Exchange Admin thru a ECP that a new CU or SU was released with a link to the KB article. A similar notification to certificate expiration that we receive when a certificate is close to reaching end of validity.

2. Exchange CU are still very time consuming, the deployment takes to much time, especially if you have more than two Exchange servers.

3. The cumulative update should check if the Exchange server is in maintenance mode and if not give an option to add the server into the maintenance mode 

Thanks, I'll pickup my free T-Shirt at the next in-person Microsoft Exchange Conference 🙂

Fix the overwrite of webconfig.

Some of the question ask "if you have not....", so no answer is needed if you have....however...you have to enter an answer as it is required.

A useful questionnaire any way, it brought some features to my attention.

For my purposes it would be more helpful if the releases occurred on Patch Tuesday instead of a week after.  I have to run through the update process twice and also schedule QA testing twice instead of getting it done in one process.  

Also a heads up as to when an update an update is coming and also that an extra is going to be announced would be very helpful instead of being surprised.  Extended Protection and the most recent "Enable Certificate Signing of PowerShell Serialization Payload" come to mind.

Is there any way to provide feedback now that the survey is closed? I missed that it was only up until the end of January.
