Today we are announcing the latest set of Cumulative Updates for Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2013. These releases include fixes to customer reported issues and updated functionality. Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 and Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 are available on the Microsoft Download Center.
Windows Server 2016 Support
Windows Server 2016 support is now available with Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3. Customers looking to deploy Windows Server 2016 in their Exchange environments require Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 or later. Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2016 are supported provided Forest Functional Level is Windows Server 2008R2 or later (Edit 10/27/2016: Please see this blog post for more information related to Forest Functional Level). Exchange does not currently support any new functionality provided by the updated operating system except for improved restart support in the Windows Installer. Installing Exchange on Windows Server 2016 provides a seamless installation experience including prerequisites. Exchange Server 2013 will not be supported on Windows Server 2016.
Windows Defender is on by default in Windows Server 2016. Attention to malware settings is particularly important with Exchange to avoid long processing times during installation and upgrade, as well as unexpected performance issues. The Exchange team recommends the Exchange installation and setup log folders be excluded from scanning in Windows Defender and other Anti-Virus software. Exchange noderunner processes should also be excluded from Windows Defender.
.Net 4.6.2 Support
.Net 4.6.2 is included with Windows Server 2016. Customers deploying Exchange on Windows Server 2016 must use .Net 4.6.2 and Cumulative Update 3 or later. We plan to add support for .Net 4.6.2 on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012R2 in our December releases of Exchange Server 2016 and 2013. .Net 4.6.2 will be required for Exchange Server 2016 and 2013 on all supported operating systems in March 2017. We advise customers to start evaluating requirements to move to .Net 4.6.2 now.
High Availability Improvements
One of the challenging areas in some on-premises environment is the amount of data replicated with each database copy. In Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3, network bandwidth requirements between the active copy and passive HA copies are reduced. The Exchange Server Role Requirements Calculator has been updated to reflect these improvements. The local search instance reads data from a database copy on the local server, also known as “Read from Passive”. As a result of this change, passive HA copy search instances no longer need to coordinate with their active counterparts in order to perform index updates. Lagged database copies still coordinate with their active counterparts to perform index updates. This change also reduces database failover times when compared to Exchange Server 2013.
Installing from a Mounted .ISO using Local Languages
.ISO’s mounted on localized versions of the operating system function correctly with Cumulative Update 3. Support for local language setup experience is limited to the 11 server languages supported by Exchange Server 2016.
Pre-Requisite Installation Behavior Updated
In previous releases of Exchange Server 2016 and 2013, servers were placed into server-wide off-line monitoring states during pre-requisite analysis and pre-requisite installation. This behavior is changed in the September cumulative update releases. Setup will now place a server in off-line monitoring mode when installation of new Exchange binaries begins. This change allows customers who are using the GUI upgrade experience to delay changing the monitoring state until after pre-requisite analysis confirms the server is ready for installation. The monitoring state will be configured when the user selects to proceed to the binary installation step. For customers using command line setup, placing the server into the off-line monitoring state is also delayed until pre-requisite analysis is completed and all pre-requisites are met. Once pre-requisites are confirmed, command line setup will change the monitoring status and proceed without a delay into the actual binary upgrade process.
Latest Time Zone and Security Updates
Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 and Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 include the security updates released in MS16-108. All of the September Exchange releases include support for Time Zone updates released through the month of August. Update Rollup 21 for Exchange Server 2007 and Update Rollup 15 for Exchange Server 2010, part of our September releases, were released as security bulletin MS16-108.
Refreshed People Experience in Outlook on the web
Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 includes an updated view of Contact information and Skype for Business presence information. These changes mirror the current experience of Office365.
Countdown to Exchange Server 2007 End of Life (EOL)
We are now only seven months away from Exchange Server 2007 going out of support (Exchange Server 2007 T-1 year and counting). Customers still running Exchange Server 2007 should be implementing plans to move to Exchange Server 2013 or Office 365 to ensure uninterrupted access to support and product fixes.
Release Details
KB articles which contain greater depth on what each release includes are available as follows:
Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 does include updates to Active Directory Schema. These updates will apply automatically during setup if the permissions and AD requirements are met during installation. If the Exchange Administrator lacks permissions to update Active Directory Schema, a Schema Admin needs to execute SETUP /PrepareSchema before installing Cumulative Update 3 on the first Exchange server. The Exchange Administrator should also execute SETUP /PrepareAD to ensure RBAC roles are updated correctly.
Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 does not include updates to Active Directory, but may add additional RBAC definitions to your existing configuration. PrepareAD should be executed prior to upgrading any servers to Cumulative Update 14. PrepareAD will run automatically during the first server upgrade if Setup detects this is required and the logged on user has sufficient permission.
Additional Information
Microsoft recommends all customers test the deployment of any update in their lab environment to determine the proper installation process for your production environment. For information on extending the schema and configuring Active Directory, please review the appropriate TechNet documentation.
Also, to prevent installation issues you should ensure that the Windows PowerShell Script Execution Policy is set to “Unrestricted” on the server being upgraded or installed. To verify the policy settings, run the Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet from PowerShell on the machine being upgraded. If the policies are NOT set to Unrestricted you should use the resolution steps in KB981474 to adjust the settings.
Reminder: Customers in hybrid deployments where Exchange is deployed on-premises and in the cloud, or who are using Exchange Online Archiving (EOA) with their on-premises Exchange deployment are required to deploy the most current (e.g., 2013 CU14, 2016 CU3) or the prior (e.g., 2013 CU13, 2016 CU2) Cumulative Update release.

We installed Exchange 2016 on Windows 2016 and are happy to report that it's working fine.
The only kink is that we migrated over a user with an Office 365 in-place archive mailbox which doesn't work in OWA with the new server/database. We attempted to rerun the Hybrid wizard but it doesn't seem to be supported in Windows 2016?
I had an install issue where the arbitration mailboxes weren't properly created in an Exchange 2010 multi-domain environment and that stopped the Exchange 2016 CU3 install on the Hub Transport service on the first install (this blog shows the problem well: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/af60d888-c1b5-40f2-a5cf-af6038fad5ab/error-during-mailbox-role-transport-service?forum=Exch2016SD)
I could only fix this issue by allowing the Exchange 2010 Schema domain prep to run again by temporarily updating the AD Schema from Exchange 2016 back to Exchange 2010 as that was the only way to properly create the missing/corrupt objects. So that's issue one that may happen to others.
Then I tried to continue with Exchange install and it kept failing as the installer set all the Exchange services to Disabled at the beginning of the resumed install. I couldn't uninstall so I simply quickly set all services to automatic once install was restarted again and finally the install completed.
So a couple interest Exchange 2016 clean install issues that may affect others: Fixing arbitration mailboxes on previous Exchange version and then installer issues since Exchange 2016 is partially installed.
UCMA 4.0 is listed as a prerequisite for Exchange 2016 on Windows 2016 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(v=exchg.160).aspx
However UCMA 4.0 was released four years ago and is clearly not supported on Windows 2016 according to the UCMA 4.0 requirements on this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34992
So how is UCMA 4.0 a supported prerequisite for Exchange 2016 on Windows 2016 ?

After upgrading Exchange 2016 to CU3 users complain that search in Public Folders doesn't work. Advanced Search works as usual and a little bit faster but it is not comfortable for often use.
Yesterday I had conversation with MS support and engineer said that this is known issue with Exchange 2016 CU3 and they are working to fix that problem ASAP because there are too much complains regarding search in public folders.
Thank you for posting this. We are experiencing this problem as well. It took a few weeks before anyone noticed because the search will find items right up to the date the CU3 was installed. Please keep us informed, and perhaps a link to the fix once MS posts it.
I was exploring the ExchangeSetup.log file to find out why a particular server was taking a long time to be fully installed. I ended finding that the setup desperately tries to start and wait for the NaSvc service... 36 times with a timeout of 25 seconds. So in the end, 15 minutes wasted until moving forward.
NaSvc is the Network Connectivity Assistant, and can't be started manually (despite having a startup type of Manual). So, is the wait worth it ?
Here's an example:
[10-16-2016 21:29:51.0289] [2] Will wait '25000' milliseconds for the service 'NcaSvc' to reach status 'Running'.
[10-16-2016 21:30:16.0452] [2] Service 'NcaSvc' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server after waiting for '25000' milliseconds.
[10-16-2016 21:30:16.0452] [2] [WARNING] Service checkpoint has not progressed. Previous checkpoint='0'- Current checkpoint='0'.
(that, multiple times, e.g. a total of 36 times.
[10-16-2016 21:44:58.0609] [2] Service 'NcaSvc' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server after waiting for '25000' milliseconds.
[10-16-2016 21:44:58.0609] [2] [WARNING] Service 'NcaSvc' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.
Sorry, typo on the service's name it's NcaSvc, not NaSvc.
And issue seems to happen with Exchange Server 2016 on Windows Server 2016. Didn't find the same traces with Exchange Server 2016 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Today we are announcing the latest set of Cumulative Updates for Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2013. These releases include fixes to customer reported issues and updated functionality. Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 and Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 are available on the Microsoft Download Center.\n
Windows Server 2016 Support
\nWindows Server 2016 support is now available with Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3. Customers looking to deploy Windows Server 2016 in their Exchange environments require Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 or later. Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2016 are supported provided Forest Functional Level is Windows Server 2008R2 or later (Edit 10/27/2016: Please see this blog post for more information related to Forest Functional Level). Exchange does not currently support any new functionality provided by the updated operating system except for improved restart support in the Windows Installer. Installing Exchange on Windows Server 2016 provides a seamless installation experience including prerequisites. Exchange Server 2013 will not be supported on Windows Server 2016.\nWindows Defender is on by default in Windows Server 2016. Attention to malware settings is particularly important with Exchange to avoid long processing times during installation and upgrade, as well as unexpected performance issues. The Exchange team recommends the Exchange installation and setup log folders be excluded from scanning in Windows Defender and other Anti-Virus software. Exchange noderunner processes should also be excluded from Windows Defender.\n
.Net 4.6.2 Support
\n.Net 4.6.2 is included with Windows Server 2016. Customers deploying Exchange on Windows Server 2016 must use .Net 4.6.2 and Cumulative Update 3 or later. We plan to add support for .Net 4.6.2 on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012R2 in our December releases of Exchange Server 2016 and 2013. .Net 4.6.2 will be required for Exchange Server 2016 and 2013 on all supported operating systems in March 2017. We advise customers to start evaluating requirements to move to .Net 4.6.2 now.\n
High Availability Improvements
\nOne of the challenging areas in some on-premises environment is the amount of data replicated with each database copy. In Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3, network bandwidth requirements between the active copy and passive HA copies are reduced. The Exchange Server Role Requirements Calculator has been updated to reflect these improvements. The local search instance reads data from a database copy on the local server, also known as “Read from Passive”. As a result of this change, passive HA copy search instances no longer need to coordinate with their active counterparts in order to perform index updates. Lagged database copies still coordinate with their active counterparts to perform index updates. This change also reduces database failover times when compared to Exchange Server 2013.\n
Installing from a Mounted .ISO using Local Languages
\n.ISO’s mounted on localized versions of the operating system function correctly with Cumulative Update 3. Support for local language setup experience is limited to the 11 server languages supported by Exchange Server 2016.\n
Pre-Requisite Installation Behavior Updated
\nIn previous releases of Exchange Server 2016 and 2013, servers were placed into server-wide off-line monitoring states during pre-requisite analysis and pre-requisite installation. This behavior is changed in the September cumulative update releases. Setup will now place a server in off-line monitoring mode when installation of new Exchange binaries begins. This change allows customers who are using the GUI upgrade experience to delay changing the monitoring state until after pre-requisite analysis confirms the server is ready for installation. The monitoring state will be configured when the user selects to proceed to the binary installation step. For customers using command line setup, placing the server into the off-line monitoring state is also delayed until pre-requisite analysis is completed and all pre-requisites are met. Once pre-requisites are confirmed, command line setup will change the monitoring status and proceed without a delay into the actual binary upgrade process.\n
Latest Time Zone and Security Updates
\nExchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 and Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 include the security updates released in MS16-108. All of the September Exchange releases include support for Time Zone updates released through the month of August. Update Rollup 21 for Exchange Server 2007 and Update Rollup 15 for Exchange Server 2010, part of our September releases, were released as security bulletin MS16-108.\n
Refreshed People Experience in Outlook on the web
\nExchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 includes an updated view of Contact information and Skype for Business presence information. These changes mirror the current experience of Office365.\n
Countdown to Exchange Server 2007 End of Life (EOL)
\nWe are now only seven months away from Exchange Server 2007 going out of support (Exchange Server 2007 T-1 year and counting). Customers still running Exchange Server 2007 should be implementing plans to move to Exchange Server 2013 or Office 365 to ensure uninterrupted access to support and product fixes.\n
Release Details
\nKB articles which contain greater depth on what each release includes are available as follows:\n
\nExchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 does include updates to Active Directory Schema. These updates will apply automatically during setup if the permissions and AD requirements are met during installation. If the Exchange Administrator lacks permissions to update Active Directory Schema, a Schema Admin needs to execute SETUP /PrepareSchema before installing Cumulative Update 3 on the first Exchange server. The Exchange Administrator should also execute SETUP /PrepareAD to ensure RBAC roles are updated correctly.\nExchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 does not include updates to Active Directory, but may add additional RBAC definitions to your existing configuration. PrepareAD should be executed prior to upgrading any servers to Cumulative Update 14. PrepareAD will run automatically during the first server upgrade if Setup detects this is required and the logged on user has sufficient permission.\n
Additional Information
\nMicrosoft recommends all customers test the deployment of any update in their lab environment to determine the proper installation process for your production environment. For information on extending the schema and configuring Active Directory, please review the appropriate TechNet documentation.\nAlso, to prevent installation issues you should ensure that the Windows PowerShell Script Execution Policy is set to “Unrestricted” on the server being upgraded or installed. To verify the policy settings, run the Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet from PowerShell on the machine being upgraded. If the policies are NOT set to Unrestricted you should use the resolution steps in KB981474 to adjust the settings.\nReminder: Customers in hybrid deployments where Exchange is deployed on-premises and in the cloud, or who are using Exchange Online Archiving (EOA) with their on-premises Exchange deployment are required to deploy the most current (e.g., 2013 CU14, 2016 CU3) or the prior (e.g., 2013 CU13, 2016 CU2) Cumulative Update release.\nFor the latest information on Exchange Server and product announcements please see What's New in Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2016 Release Notes. You can also find updated information on Exchange Server 2013 in What’s New in Exchange Server 2013, Release Notes and product documentation available on TechNet.\n

Today we are announcing the latest set of Cumulative Updates for Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2013. These releases include fixes to customer reported issues and updated functionality. Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 and Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 are available on the Microsoft Download Center.\n
Windows Server 2016 Support
\nWindows Server 2016 support is now available with Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3. Customers looking to deploy Windows Server 2016 in their Exchange environments require Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 or later. Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2016 are supported provided Forest Functional Level is Windows Server 2008R2 or later (Edit 10/27/2016: Please see this blog post for more information related to Forest Functional Level). Exchange does not currently support any new functionality provided by the updated operating system except for improved restart support in the Windows Installer. Installing Exchange on Windows Server 2016 provides a seamless installation experience including prerequisites. Exchange Server 2013 will not be supported on Windows Server 2016.\nWindows Defender is on by default in Windows Server 2016. Attention to malware settings is particularly important with Exchange to avoid long processing times during installation and upgrade, as well as unexpected performance issues. The Exchange team recommends the Exchange installation and setup log folders be excluded from scanning in Windows Defender and other Anti-Virus software. Exchange noderunner processes should also be excluded from Windows Defender.\n
.Net 4.6.2 Support
\n.Net 4.6.2 is included with Windows Server 2016. Customers deploying Exchange on Windows Server 2016 must use .Net 4.6.2 and Cumulative Update 3 or later. We plan to add support for .Net 4.6.2 on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012R2 in our December releases of Exchange Server 2016 and 2013. .Net 4.6.2 will be required for Exchange Server 2016 and 2013 on all supported operating systems in March 2017. We advise customers to start evaluating requirements to move to .Net 4.6.2 now.\n
High Availability Improvements
\nOne of the challenging areas in some on-premises environment is the amount of data replicated with each database copy. In Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3, network bandwidth requirements between the active copy and passive HA copies are reduced. The Exchange Server Role Requirements Calculator has been updated to reflect these improvements. The local search instance reads data from a database copy on the local server, also known as “Read from Passive”. As a result of this change, passive HA copy search instances no longer need to coordinate with their active counterparts in order to perform index updates. Lagged database copies still coordinate with their active counterparts to perform index updates. This change also reduces database failover times when compared to Exchange Server 2013.\n
Installing from a Mounted .ISO using Local Languages
\n.ISO’s mounted on localized versions of the operating system function correctly with Cumulative Update 3. Support for local language setup experience is limited to the 11 server languages supported by Exchange Server 2016.\n
Pre-Requisite Installation Behavior Updated
\nIn previous releases of Exchange Server 2016 and 2013, servers were placed into server-wide off-line monitoring states during pre-requisite analysis and pre-requisite installation. This behavior is changed in the September cumulative update releases. Setup will now place a server in off-line monitoring mode when installation of new Exchange binaries begins. This change allows customers who are using the GUI upgrade experience to delay changing the monitoring state until after pre-requisite analysis confirms the server is ready for installation. The monitoring state will be configured when the user selects to proceed to the binary installation step. For customers using command line setup, placing the server into the off-line monitoring state is also delayed until pre-requisite analysis is completed and all pre-requisites are met. Once pre-requisites are confirmed, command line setup will change the monitoring status and proceed without a delay into the actual binary upgrade process.\n
Latest Time Zone and Security Updates
\nExchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 and Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 14 include the security updates released in MS16-108. All of the September Exchange releases include support for Time Zone updates released through the month of August. Update Rollup 21 for Exchange Server 2007 and Update Rollup 15 for Exchange Server 2010, part of our September releases, were released as security bulletin MS16-108.\n
Refreshed People Experience in Outlook on the web
\nExchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 3 includes an updated view of Contact information and Skype for Business presence information. These changes mirror the current experience of Office365.\n

\nWe are now only seven months away from Exchange Server 2007 going out of support (Exchange Server 2007 T-1 year and counting). Customers still running Exchange Server 2007 should be implementing plans to move to Exchange Server 2013 or Office 365 to ensure uninterrupted access to support and product fixes.\n

I had an install issue where the arbitration mailboxes weren't properly created in an Exchange 2010 multi-domain environment and that stopped the Exchange 2016 CU3 install on the Hub Transport service on the first install (this blog shows the problem well: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/af60d888-c1b5-40f2-a5cf-af6038fad5ab/error-during-mailbox-role-transport-service?forum=Exch2016SD)
I could only fix this issue by allowing the Exchange 2010 Schema domain prep to run again by temporarily updating the AD Schema from Exchange 2016 back to Exchange 2010 as that was the only way to properly create the missing/corrupt objects. So that's issue one that may happen to others.
Then I tried to continue with Exchange install and it kept failing as the installer set all the Exchange services to Disabled at the beginning of the resumed install. I couldn't uninstall so I simply quickly set all services to automatic once install was restarted again and finally the install completed.
So a couple interest Exchange 2016 clean install issues that may affect others: Fixing arbitration mailboxes on previous Exchange version and then installer issues since Exchange 2016 is partially installed.

UCMA 4.0 is listed as a prerequisite for Exchange 2016 on Windows 2016 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(v=exchg.160).aspx
However UCMA 4.0 was released four years ago and is clearly not supported on Windows 2016 according to the UCMA 4.0 requirements on this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34992

I was exploring the ExchangeSetup.log file to find out why a particular server was taking a long time to be fully installed. I ended finding that the setup desperately tries to start and wait for the NaSvc service... 36 times with a timeout of 25 seconds. So in the end, 15 minutes wasted until moving forward.
NaSvc is the Network Connectivity Assistant, and can't be started manually (despite having a startup type of Manual). So, is the wait worth it ?
Here's an example:
[10-16-2016 21:29:51.0289] [2] Will wait '25000' milliseconds for the service 'NcaSvc' to reach status 'Running'.
[10-16-2016 21:30:16.0452] [2] Service 'NcaSvc' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server after waiting for '25000' milliseconds.
[10-16-2016 21:30:16.0452] [2] [WARNING] Service checkpoint has not progressed. Previous checkpoint='0'- Current checkpoint='0'.
(that, multiple times, e.g. a total of 36 times.
[10-16-2016 21:44:58.0609] [2] Service 'NcaSvc' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server after waiting for '25000' milliseconds.
[10-16-2016 21:44:58.0609] [2] [WARNING] Service 'NcaSvc' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.
