The Register is reporting that Microsoft recommends that you NOT install the recommended .NET Framework 4.7 update:
Earlier this month, Microsoft gave the world .NET Framework 4.7 and urged users to install it for the usual reasons: more fun bits to play with and a security improvements.
But two days later the company urged Exchange users not to install it ASAP, because it hadn't validated it yet. Last Friday - 10 days after the launch of the new code - it reminded users of Lync and Skype for Business not to install it either.
[...] "We are in the process of validating Exchange Server on the .NET Framework 4.7, but the work is not yet complete".
While that validation is happening, "please delay this particular .NET update on your Exchange servers".
If you followed the original recommendation and installed the framework, and now wish to follow their new recommendation, then Microsoft recommends you follow these instructions to roll it back.

Our biggest fear at $DAYJOB is rollbacks, we never want any of our $$$-paying clients to have to do one. If one client rolls back, we have to further branch our release tree, and we simply don't have the staff or time to manage that complexity. Fortunately, ``git revert'' is moving forwards, so if we can get reverts out quickly enough, everyone thinks we're moving forwards all the time, even if we've shipped them a few bugs briefly.

They should immediately push out "new" versions identical to the old versions, just re-labelled to look modern.
Yeah, it didn't occur to me that's how to do it. I agree with you on roll backs. They rarely, if ever work. Same with 'system restore'. That one fucks up things royally.
