"Microsoft's announcement of ESU for the products included the stern warning: 'This period will not be extended past April 2026 (you do not need to ask).' However, as April approached, Microsoft acknowledged that some customers had not moved to new products."
"The solution is a second period of Exchange Server ESU, this time from May 2026 to October 2026. Customers must pay for the service, and there is no promise that Microsoft will release any updates during this period."
"Microsoft is nonetheless clearly less than pleased that some customers have not yet migrated. It wrote: 'Our preference is that our customers finalize their migrations instead (honestly - we'd be happy to not sell Period 2 Exchange ESU to anyone; please migrate instead!)'"
Microsoft will continue offering Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Exchange Server and Skype for Business Server until October 2026. This decision comes after acknowledging that some customers have not migrated to newer products. Customers must pay for this service, and there is no guarantee of updates during this period. Microsoft has emphasized that there will be no further extensions after this second period, urging customers to complete their migrations instead of relying on ESU.
