Summary

Transport Layer Security (TLS) negotiation happens in an earlier version of Microsoft Exchange Server 2016. This causes an error Event ID 30 to be logged under CIAPI2 in the Event Viewer and incurs an unnecessary TLS cost. After you apply this update, you can enable the UseAscReqNoToken by editing the “MSExchangeFrontendTransport.exe.config” file.

Cause

In datacenter edition of Windows Server, there's an option that doesn't require tokens during TLS security negotiation. It's controlled by a flight that's not enabled in Standard edition of Windows Server.
