Microsoft Exchange Server product team periodically releases Exchange Server update rollups, which are the cumulative-update-package for the product. The main purpose of releasing these bundle update packages are to fix the enormous reported bugs in the product. These update rollups add value to the product, by introducing new features and capabilities for meeting customer needs.
