When there are multiple Exchange Server versions in the same email domain, the following two statements are true:

  1. The ENS server is able to complete all the subscriptions correctly.
  2. Each Exchange server needs to have at least one Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) Certificate.

Explanation:

  1. The ENS (Email Notification Services) server is responsible for managing the notifications that are sent to Workspace ONE UEM console when a new email is received. In a scenario where there are multiple Exchange Server versions in the same email domain, the ENS server can handle all the subscriptions correctly, irrespective of the Exchange Server version. This means that the ENS server will not be impacted and will continue to function normally.

  2. Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) Certificate is required to enable push notifications for email on iOS devices. In a scenario where there are multiple Exchange Server versions in the same email domain, each Exchange server needs to have at least one APNS certificate to ensure that push notifications work correctly on iOS devices. This is because the APNS certificate is tied to a specific Exchange server and is required to enable push notifications for emails received on that server. Therefore, it is necessary to have an APNS certificate for each Exchange Server version.

The following statements are not true:

A. All of the Exchange Servers need to be updated to the same version of Windows Server: This statement is not true because Exchange Server and Windows Server are two separate products. While it is recommended to use the latest version of Windows Server to run Exchange Server, it is not mandatory to have all Exchange servers updated to the same version of Windows Server.

B. An administrator needs to install separate instances of Email Notification Services (ENS): This statement is not true because ENS is a single server component that can manage notifications for multiple Exchange servers in the same email domain. There is no need to install separate instances of ENS for each Exchange server version.

D. The ENS server functionality is interrupted: This statement is not true because the ENS server can handle all subscriptions correctly, irrespective of the Exchange Server version. Therefore, the ENS server functionality will not be interrupted.

In conclusion, the correct statements are C and E.
