It's a bug!
According to @ceno666 the issue also seems to occur with the 220101002 update version as well. Could be related to, what I’m dubbing, the “Y2K22” bug. Refer to the comment from JulianSiebert about the “signed long” here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/december-2021-exchange-server-cumulative-updates-postponed/bc-p/3049189/highlight/true#M31885 The “long” type allows for values up to 2,147,483,647. It appears that Microsoft uses the first two numbers of the update version to denote the year of the update. So when the year was 2021, the first two numbers was “21”, and everything was fine. Now that it’s 2022 (GMT), the update version, converted to a “long” would be 2,201,01,001 - - which is above the maximum value of the “long” data type. Pernille-Eskebo: If you change it to an ‘unsigned long’, then the max value is 4,294,967,295 and we’ll be able to sleep easy until the year 2043!
