Issues with CU8
By installing the CU8 on a hybrid Exchange infrastructure it can point to free/busy issues.
This issue occurs when mailboxes are present on-premises and in the cloud. A free/busy query from Office 365 to on-premises will fail for cloud-based mailboxes if those mailboxes do not have an archive enabled. The reason of the problem occurs because, the OAuth connectivity fails.
All Office 365 users who have archive enabled, this problem don’t occurs.
How to fix the Issue?
The easiest workaround is, to enable archive for all cloud based mailboxes.
The problem should be corrected in Exchange 2016 CU9.
If the workaround to enable archive to all cloud based mailboxes is not a option for you, Microsoft has also announced a Interim Update, more information about the KB4058297 you can find here.
This Update is of course available at no charge by Microsoft
