CRM Router and Dynamics CRM V9 Online–No Emails Being Processed

Exchange Server for rollup updates and cumulative updates at the time of writing (Feb 2019) has a dependency on Visual C++ 2012.

CannotEnterFinalizationTransientException On Exchange Move Request
Did not find a lot on the internet on this particular error, so I guess it does not happen very often, but in my case it delayed to move of the mailbox in question by a week or so until I could resolve it.
