Exchange Server Supportability Matrix


Exchange Server Supportability Matrix


The Exchange Server Supportability Matrix provides a central source for Microsoft Exchange administrators to easily locate information about the level of support available for any configuration or required component for all versions of Microsoft Exchange.


For more information about the support lifecycle for a specific version of Exchange or of the Microsoft Windows server or client operating systems, see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle page. For more information about the Microsoft Support lifecycle, see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ.


The tables in this topic use an X character to identify supported configurations or required components for each version of Exchange. If an X is accompanied by an asterisk, see the section following the table for corresponding information. Any product that is not listed in the tables isn't supported. This is because that product hasn't been tested, isn't compatible with Exchange, or has reached the end of its lifecycle.

The following table identifies the support lifecycle for each version of Exchange.

http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Global/Images/clear.gif Release Model


The following table identifies the release model used for updates and hotfixes for each version of Exchange. With Exchange, each update rollup package is cumulative with regard to the whole product. Therefore, if you apply an update rollup package to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, you apply all the fixes contained in that update rollup package. This includes all the fixes contained in each earlier update rollup package. For more information, see Exchange 2010 Servicing.


When an update or a hotfix for earlier versions of Exchange is created, one or more of the binary files included in the update or included in the hotfix are cumulative. They are cumulative with regard to the contents of the files. However, they aren't cumulative with regard to the whole Exchange product. The release model used by a product is identified by an X character.
