Microsoft to retire the OWA Light client in Exchange Server

Microsoft will disable Outlook Web Access Light, the lightweight version of the Outlook Web App email client, in a future Exchange Server update. OWA Light has been superseded by modern versions of Outlook Web App that offer better performance and user experience. Organizations using OWA Light will need to migrate to current clients before support ends.

Why it matters: Exchange Server administrators should plan migration from OWA Light to current Outlook Web App versions to avoid disruption when Microsoft disables the legacy client in future updates.

Why it matters: Organizations running Exchange Server on older infrastructure or with limited bandwidth need to plan migration strategies for users currently relying on OWA Light before the feature is removed.
