Windows Server 2012 Essentials Update Rollup 1

The update also includes new features and resolves some localization issues.

Features that are included in this update
- Support is added for hosted email message mailbox integration in the Dashboard.
- AntiXSSLibrary.dll is updated this improves the reliability of the Remote Web Access (RWA).
- The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 package is updated to a new version.
- A direct download link is added to the Dashboard to improve the online backup integration.

Major issues that are resolved by this update
You cannot view Office 365 information through the Dashboard. This issue occurs if the proxy settings are configured to automatically detect the proxy server in Windows Internet Explorer.

Issue(s) Fixed
- The file history retention policy does not work with certain time formats.
- A hard block occurs on the hardware checks for a hoster.
- The system returns user tokens instead of cookies in Web API; may cause (CSRF) issue.
- The Dashboard crashes when a user add-in is configured as a leftmost add-in.
- The Domain Wizard fails if the domain name contains "homeserver" eg "smithhomeserver.com").
- The certification authority (CA) root certificate is incompatible with DirectAccess.
(Therefore, after you deploy DirectAccess on a server, a Windows 7-based client cannot establish a DirectAccess connection to the server.)
 
Note This fix only takes effect if Update Rollup 1 for Windows Server 2012 Essentials is applied before DirectAccess is deployed on the server.
