They are in the process of deploying the “drop to http/1.1” fix across the 
service. Most of north America is done, but not all. And it’ll take a couple 
weeks to deploy across the world.

Guess this affects O365.


Known Issue: Email access in iOS 11
MC119954

Published Date: Sep 20
Category: Prevent or Fix Issues

When do I need to take action by?
Action required by: Sep 20

How does this impact me?

How does this affect me?: Due to an incompatibility in the new release of iOS, 
users of the built-in Apple Mail app in iOS 11 may be unable to sync their 
Office 365 mailbox or login to their accounts. iOS 9 or 10 users are not 
affected.

What do I need to do to fix this?: Microsoft and Apple are working to resolve 
this issue and will post more information to the article, below, when it 
becomes available.

In the meantime, we recommend you download the free Outlook for iOS client, 
available in the App Store. Alternatively, you can avoid updating to iOS 11 
until the issue has been fixed.

Could be as simple has having some kind of different load balancing system in 
front of their Exchange.

How is O365 not affected by this?  Are they not running server 2016 or did they 
step the cipher down to HTTP/1.1?

We were putting our Exch 2016 servers in production tonight, but are holding 
off for a week because we did not feel comfortable doing the OS reg hack the 
same day the servers were going in.  Like to test even the simplest changes 
before going live.

Yes, it’ll jack up wherever the external connection is. Since 2016 proxies to 
2010 in your case, the 2016’s are acting as CAS frontends and will cause the 
problem.

Will this only affect mailboxes on Exch 2016 or will it also affect users that 
are on Exch 2010 with 2016 in front?  We are about to place 2016 in front of 
2010 to start the migration process and need to know if that is going to jack 
up the users still on Exch 2010.

Further information on [1], as Microsoft and Apple release additional details.

[1] This only occurs when Exchange Server 2016 is installed on Windows Server 
2016. It actually will impact any web app on Windows Server 2016 to which an 
iOS 11 device attempts to connect. The issue occurs because iOS 11 improperly 
negotiates a HTTP/2 TLS connection, and HTTP/2 is the default on Windows Server 
2016 and iOS 11.

While this is not an Exchange issue per se, Exchange is the application most 
likely to be affected. Microsoft offers a workaround, described in this 
article, by disabling HTTP/2 thus forcing a fallback to HTTP/1.1:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4032720/how-to-deploy-custom-cipher-suite-ordering-in-windows-server-2016

(If you find the article title to be irrelevant – well, so do I.)

And a new item:

[3] Yammer and Dynamics CRM apps have not yet been updated for iOS 11. There 
are a wide variety of Intune changes/impacts with iOS 11:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/intunesupport/2017/09/12/support-tip-intune-support-for-ios-11/

Perhaps the two things most notable to your users: [3a] An updated Company 
Portal and Managed Browser are required for iOS 11, and [3b] Drag-and-drop (a 
new feature of iOS 11) is disabled when a device is enrolled with Intune.

And that may not be a good thing in all cases…

Known issues to be aware of:

[1] Exchange ActiveSync is broken under certain configurations. Apple is aware 
of the issue and pursuing a fix.

[2] The default picture format for iPhones 7/8/X is changing. As a Microsoft 
employee wrote earlier today:

The new photo and video formats result in files about 1/2 size of the old JPEG 
and video formats, while having better quality. The problem is that new files 
will likely not open properly outside of your phone until everything that you 
use to work with photos updates to work with new HEIF formats.

To check if your iOS 11 phone uses the new format, go to Settings > Camera > 
Formats. "High Efficiency" is new and "Most Compatible" is the old / current.

I do not suggest to just turn this off; hey - getting files half the size is 
super cool. Just realize that if you use the photos outside of your phone that 
there might be temporary issues with viewing.

Windows and OneDrive do not yet support the new formats.

You may wish to suggest to your user communities that they delay upgrades 
because of the EAS issue.
