When you’re using RTM Server 2012 or RTM Windows 8 to manage Exchange 2013 via the Exchange Administration Center you’ll likely get a pup-up saying “Internet Explorer has stopped working”. Regardless of what option you choose IE will restart & you’ll be stuck in an endless loop of crashes, cursing, & possibly keyboard smashing.
It will typically show its ugly face when managing recipients but you may notice sporadic behavior elsewhere too.
To resolve this you’ll need to install this Microsoft Update for IE10 on Server 2012/Win8. After an install & a reboot you should be fine.
This update was actually released in December but I’m mentioning it now because I find myself building quite a few 2013 labs for self-study as well as some classes I’ll likely be teaching over the coming months. In a production environment with access to a Windows Update source this would probably go unnoticed since Windows would get updated automatically.
However, in a lab environment (with no internet access) where you’re using RTM bits for Server 2012 & Windows 8 it can become quite annoying. So I suggest either making this part of your prerequisite install list before installing 2013 or building your own OS images with it included if you plan on building lab/test environments until there are 2012/8 bits available with this fix already included.
Of course you could always just install another browser but that’s just as much of a pain in a lab as installing this KB.

Hi ,
This is Denny, the creator of this free automated employee
provisioning/termination app– Z-hire. I wrote this app for the TechNet community a year ago.
Since you run a very informative blog, I would like your help
spread the word. Since my application is free, i need supporters from the
community. It would means a lot if you can help.
Here is a link to my app
