Critical Exchange on Prem issue: Check your servers ASAP -- Malware agent fails to load in 2022 -- FIP-FS-"Microsoft" Scan Engine Failed to Load

Sadly not a good start into 2022 for some Exchange on Prem admins.
You should check your servers ASAP to avoid surprises Monday morning.
Depending on the configuration a failure of the "Microsoft Filtering Management Service" might stop your mail flow!

I have not seen anything on heise yet. But I got this tweed --> https://twitter.com/miketheitguy/status/1477097527593734144
And there is a forum entry --> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/680488/microsoft-exchange-fip-fs-scan-engine-failed-to-lo.html
Plus a more detailed post --> https://borncity.com/win/2022/01/01/exchange-fip-fs-scan-engine-failed-to-load-cant-convert-2201010001-to-long-1-1-2022/

I am not speculating what could be wrong in detail with the date, since I am not an expert..

Sorry to hear and I hope this is is resolved soon!

Best of luck!

Daniel
