Information for Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013
For the October 2012 refresh, the Exchange Server Protocols documents were updated to include applicability and implementation details for Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013. For information about differences between versions, see the behavior notes that are included in the Product Behavior appendix of each document.
Information for other Microsoft products
For the October 2012 refresh, the appropriate documents were updated to include applicability and implementation details for Microsoft® Lync®, Microsoft® SharePoint® Products and Technologies, Windows®, Windows® Communication Apps, and Windows Server®. For information about differences between versions, see the behavior notes that are included in the Product Behavior appendix of each document.
Title changes for all documents that are about Exchange ActiveSync and in the documentation set
The prefix “Exchange ActiveSync” was added to the title of each document that specifies an Exchange ActiveSync protocol. The new titles better reflect that Exchange ActiveSync is the applicable technology for those documents.
The following document was removed from the documentation set and added to the Exchange Server Protocols archive:
- [MS-OXWSAUTID]: Authentication Identification Extension. This extension was implemented but never used by any applicable products.
The following known issues exist in the February 2013 release:
1. Underscore characters are not always visible in code in the PDF files depending on the magnification selected by the user. Those characters are present in printed versions.
2. Information in a table row may split across two pages.
3. Table borders are not always visible depending upon the magnification selected by the user. Borders are present in printed versions of the PDF.
4. Cross-protocol links are only functional when the PDF files for the protocols are in the same folder.
5. For optimal readability of the PDF documents, we recommend that they be opened and viewed by using Adobe Reader 10.0.
6. Links in the PDFs do not resolve in Adobe Reader 9 because Adobe has changed the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9.
  To access links, perform the following procedure:
  In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.
  In the Categories list, click Documents.
  Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.
