What’s new with the Server 2012 R2 Update

According to the TechNet the Easy-to-deploy package will not change to system APIs. After the automatic installation, you just need to reboot the system.
There is also no change concerning the system requirements.

The Changes in Detail

• Active Directory Update for Office 365
  You can now log in (Sign-on) with a Office 365 mail address.
  Remote Desktop Service (RDS) has the same design like Windows 8.1 for the end user.
