Symptoms

When you use Internet Explorer 11 to access the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment, you can't successfully perform the following operations:

  • Create a new send connector or change the existing send connector

  • Add secondary SMTP address to a user mailbox

Cause

This issue occurs because the ECP pop-up window request isn't handled reliably by Internet Explorer.  

Resolution

To fix this issue, install Cumulative Update 13 for Exchange Server 2013 or a later cumulative update for Exchange Server 2013.

Status
