The bug has made Microsoft Exchange to stored the date in int32 variable which can hold a value of 2,147,483,647. However, dates in 2022 should be with the value of 2,201,010,001 for 2022 which causes the software to crash.
This same Y2K22 bug has hit Honda and Acura cars, when spoken to Honda customer care, they said this should be auto-fixed in Aug 2022. And this is what the Honda Customer Care has told a car owner for the enquiry on this date issue,
