Released: December 2019 Quarterly Exchange Updates

Hello,

I updated my test exchange server from CU14 to CU15 . No issue for the exchange mailbox and cas server but big issues on the edge exchange server .

I raised a ticket to the premier support

It's failing at step 10 of 12 : Edge Transport Role
