Exchange 2010/2013: Do Not Install .Net Framework 4.6.1

Microsoft has released an update for .Net Framework to 4.6.1. The Exchange Supportability Matrix states that .Net 4.6+ is not compatible with neither 2010 or 2013.

It's best to hide the update in Windows Update, and if you're using WSUS/SCCM make sure that it is not pushed automatically...you're not using automatic updates for Exchange servers are you?

If you have already installed .Net 4.6 or 4.6.1, you should be able to remove it in Add/Remove Programs, but in my experience it's hit or miss on what effects it will have on Exchange.

For reference, here's the TechNet article about .Net and Exchange compatibility:
