Only fools and lazy government still use exchange servers. Anyone else sane has either moved to office365 or moved off microsoft (less the latter, good slaves)

  It’s makes you wonder why these exploits keep popping up on self hosted exchange servers. Would Microsoft have any interest in pushing users to monthly cloud based subscription services….?

    Not sure what you're implying here? Microsoft sabotaging it's own product (which is used by government) in order to make users switch? Microsoft has no problem sunsetting services and giving users a deadline to switch to its replacement.

  I was doing massive HA Zimbra enterprise deployments in 2009. Shops were migrating from Exchange and *nix mbox accounts since 2003 because: 1. It was a megabitch to install and configure correctly and securely to work with Outlook, web, mobile, PDA, and other Microsoft products, and apply patch Tuesday updates depending on HA to work correctly to prevent downtime and data loss. (Blackberry BES was the sort-of answer to some crunchy mobile problems for a while because the idea of mobile apps hadn't fully materialized, so an E2EE solution seemed like the best path at the time.) 2. It was a continual attack surface, making the ops support or managed ops support far more costly than licensing. This was during the era of massive malware worms attacking the disastrous poor security of Microsoft products. Fool me once shame on you, ...* I don't have much empathy for doing the same thing and expecting a different result other than breaches and loss of data and service.
