Update 12/13/2016: Please see the December 2016 Quarterly Exchange Updates blog post for updates on this subject.

We wanted to raise your attention to an issue that some customers have reported running Exchange Server 2016 on Windows Server 2016. Crashes of the IIS (W3WP.exe) process have been reported causing instability of Exchange Server on Windows Server 2016. The Exchange team has worked with the Windows team to isolate the source of the problem. An update for Windows Server 2016 will be made available to resolve this issue. Microsoft recommends that customers delay deploying Exchange Server on Windows Server 2016 until this update is made available. For the latest guidance on known issues, please consult the Windows Server release notes on TechNet. When there are updates on this, we will update this blog post. The Exchange Team

      We're considering Server 2016 for our Exchange 2016 installation. Did the update resolve the issues?

    Hello Exchange Team (third request),

    Speaking of Windows Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2016…

    The current version of Jetstress clearly does not list Windows 2016 as a supported operating system. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36849

    For those of us that are currently deploying this combination, when exactly should we expect the version of Jetstress that will officially support Windows 2016 ?

    Thanks!

    One month is gone and no one info or update?

    (Info like "no patch until Q2 2017" would be a very helping info!)

    Is there an update on this issue, I find it concerning that a number of people have asked for an update and there hasn't been one.
