Apart from a Daylight Savings Time update, documented here, these Rollups contain the following fixes:

Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 12:

KB 3048372 Exchange Calendar items are shifted incorrectly when some Windows DST updates are applied
KB 3096125 CryptographicException error when Edge Transport service crashes in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

Notes:

If you want to speed up the update process for systems without internet access, follow the procedure described here to disable publisher’s certificate revocation checking.
If you got an Exchange 2010 DAG, and want to properly update the DAG members, check the instructions here.
As for any Hotfix, Rollup, Service Pack or Cumulative Update, apply this update to a acceptance environment first, prior to implementing it in production. When you lack such facilities, hold out a certain period and monitor the comments on the release article or TechNet forum for any issues.

Rollups are cumulative per service pack level, i.e. they contain fixes released in earlier update Rollups for the same product level (RTM, SP). This means you can apply the latest Rollup after installing a fresh installation of RTM or SPx version, for that product level.

Note that once installed, you can’t uninstall a Cumulative Update nor any of the installed Exchange server roles. The order of upgrading Exchange 2013 servers is irrelevant, unlike with previous generations of Exchange. Exchange 2010 Rollups are cumulative per service pack level, i.e. they contain fixes released in earlier updates.

Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8v2

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Michel de Rooij

UPDATE (December 12th, 2014): Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8 v2 is released, addressing the issue mentioned below in the initially published version. The new version number is 14.3.224.2 (was 14.3.224.1). You can download RU8v2 here.

UPDATE (December 10th, 2014): Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8 has been pulled after discovery of Outlook MAPI issues. It is currently recommended not to deploy RU8 and when you have installed RU8, to revert to RU7 to prevent walking into this issue. Other protocols, such as EAS or IMAP4, as unaffected which is why you might not encounter this problem immediately.
