## Questions this post answers

### Why is Microsoft's Exchange Server subscription edition update delayed?

Microsoft says it cannot provide a delivery date for the promised Exchange Server subscription edition update because staff are dealing with a backlog of bugs, some attributed to AI-generated code, that has made it difficult to find time to finish the release. No new timeline has been announced.

_Admins waiting on Exchange updates can track delay news and vendor statements as they land on daily.dev._
