Resolves an Issue Where Mailbox Features Are Unavailable
This hotfix resolves an issue where mailbox features are unavailable after installing Hotfix 73434. (ENG321595)

Improves Performance when Updating Unavailable Computer Descriptions
This hotfix improves the performance of updating the description of unavailable computers by only updating the description in Active Directory. Available computers are unaffected by this change. (ENG316198)

Resolves an Issue Where Secondary Servers Stop Unexpectedly
This hotfix resolves an issue where the Administration server locks out all DRA activities during Multi-Master Set (MMS) synchronization on secondary Administration servers. (ENG317051)

Resolves an Issue Where DRA is Unable to Create or Clone Users With Exchange Mailboxes
This hotfix resolves an issue where DRA does not complete cloning or creating a new user account in DRA with a Microsoft Exchange 2010 mailbox. (ENG317377)

Resolves an Issue Where the DRA Resource Cache Refresh Does Not Collect the Service Pack Version
Before you install this hotfix, the DRA resource cache refresh does not collect the service pack version for computers running Microsoft Windows 2008 or later. After you install this hotfix, the DRA resource cache refresh collects the service pack versions for all Microsoft Windows computers. (ENG315728)

Resolves an Issue Where DRA Cannot Manage Exchange After Upgrading to Exchange 2010 SP2
Before you install this hotfix, after installing Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP2, DRA does not properly manage Exchange support. For example, if you move a user with an Exchange 2010 mailbox from one mailbox store to another, the Exchange server still connects to the source mailbox store instead of the target. After you install this hotfix, DRA manages Exchange 2010 SP2 support properly. (ENG319055, ENG319176)

Resolves an Issue Where DRA is Unable to Access Deleted Objects Container
Before you install this hotfix, an issue exists where DRA incorrectly changes the domain and Exchange credentials when you add additional subtrees of a domain to be managed. When DRA changes these credentials, DRA can no longer access the Deleted Objects Container. After you install this hotfix, DRA retains the correct credentials when you add additional subtrees of a domain, and DRA can access the Deleted Objects Container. (ENG318512)

Resolves an Issue Removing the Omit Flag from Domains Moved from Trusted to Managed
Before you install this hotfix, an issue exists where in an MMS configuration in which you have a trusted domain marked as omitted, when you move that domain to managed in the primary DRA server, the secondary DRA server still displays those domains marked as omitted. After you install this hotfix, the secondary DRA server correctly displays domains as managed. (ENG315511)

Resolves an Issue Where DRA Does Not Allow a Period in an Exchange Alias Field
This hotfix resolves an issue where DRA does not allow you to enter a period in an Exchange alias field if the existing alias value is NULL. (ENG317368)

Resolves an Issue Creating and Renaming Groups Using Multiple Scripts
This hotfix resolves an issue where the Administration server returns an error when you create a group using a script and then rename the group using another script. (ENG315989)
