Applying Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on Exchange 2010 SP2 servers

Hi All,
Our current setup is Primary Site and DR site with a DAG.
Primary site is having 2 Mailbox servers, 2 hubcas servers with an NLB and one CAS server for OWA.
DR Site is having 1 mailbox server, one hubcas server and one CAS server. All these exchange servers are SP2 with update roll up5.
But the OS is Windows 2008 R2, need to apply Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on these servers, and what are things to be considered.
Does this affect CAS servers IIS?
Thanks,
Kanishka.

Agreed. One thing to mention - Win 2008 R2 needed SP1 a while back, no security updates have been released for a while.
Exchange 2010 SP2 goes out of support next month. please plan to update to SP3 for Exchange 2010.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/10/08/save-the-date-end-of-exchange-2003-support-t-minus-6-months.aspx
The details for that, and a link to the lifecycle page are in the above post.

Migrating a mailbox cross forest from exchange 2013 Sp1 to exchange 2010 SP2 Update rollup 8

I can migrate a mailbox fine from exchange 2010 sp2 update rollup 8 to exchange 2013 sp1 or Cu2.
I was testing today migrating cross forest from 2010 sp2 udpate rollup 8 back to exchange 2010 sp2 but I get the below error. Is this even possible? I cannot find any documentation on this scenario yet.

Hi Steve,
I'm a little confused what you are saying. Here is my understanding:
When you migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2013 back to Exchange 2007, the above error occurs.
If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
For migrating mailboxes back to Exchange 2007, there is a simple and straightforward method. Please use the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet to convert all mailboxes into pst files. And then use the Import-Mailbox cmdlet to import all pst files into Exchange
2007.
Hope it helps.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Windows update not applicable

HELP!!! We have 3 Windows 2008 R2 servers that were updated with SP1 back in March. Last month we noticed on our Retina audit that the three servers were missing several Windows critical patches that were released after SP1 was applied. WSUS did not report
any missing patches for those three servers. When we tried to manually apply those missing patches we get the error message "This update is not applicable to your computer". After some troubleshooting we found that KB976932 (Service Pact 1) is not listed in
installed updates. However, system property shows Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition. We are certain that SP1 did NOT come pre-installed. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer detected no missing patches. Microsoft System Readiness Tool CBA logs show no
errors. Ran SFC /SCANNOW and found no error also. Force install of the patches with command switch /wuforce, did not work we still get the same message patch not applicable. We compared our servers that are fully patched running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 against
the three unpatched servers and found several dll and sys file's version to be different. Those dll and sys files are also the files that would have been updated by the critical patches. The only thing different between the fully patched Windows 2008 R2 SP1
servers and the unpatch are the unpatch have no public internet access. We confirmed patches that were required prior to SP1 push are installed: KB2454826 KB2534366 KB2533552 KB976902 Confirmed: Partition with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 installed is set to "ACTIVE"
Windows Event Collector service is started Windows Modules Installer is started Uninstalling SP1 is not possible because the KB976932 is not listed and verified "not hidden" in installed updates list. Rebuilding the three servers are the very last option,
since they are critical. Other than the missing patches.... the servers are running great, we have no reported issues with the three servers. Attempt to reinstall SP1 failed after reboot, error 0X800F0826. If anyone has experience this problem and know of
a solution please help.

Hi,
I would like to confirm that what updates are not applicable for your three Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 servers?
Based on the current situation, please run the System Update Readiness Tool as Meinolf Weber mentioned and check the CheckSUR.persist.log for the corrupted
files. After that, please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article for how to repair them.

Upgrade Windows 2008 R2 sp1 on an Exchange 2010 SP3 server

I have looked high and low for an answer to this question:
1. I have Windows 2008 R2 running Exchange 2010 SP3
2. Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?
3. Are there pre-requisites for doing this?
4. If so, where can I get the documentation?
I have spent hours looking through Google and Technet. Lots of information about compatibility of 2008 R2 and Exchange SP1 and SP2.
Your wisdom and experience would be appreciated. Thank you!!
Charlie

Hi,
"Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?"
Yes, you can.
"Are there pre-requisites for doing this?"
There is no pre-requisites, however, as what Idan Vexler mentioned above, downtime is required.
"If so, where can I get the documentation?"
Here are two related threads for your reference.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Exchange DAG event 1196 and 1579 Bad DNS Key

Hi,
I'm running an Exchange 2010 SP1 DAG on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. We are using an INFOBLOX appliance for DNS resolution.
DNS resolution is working and SRV records are created.
On one of the two clusternodes I get warning 1579 and error 1196 every 15 minutes. After looking around on the internet and technet, I found kb 977158 stating the problem and resolution. However this hotfix is not applicabel on Windows
2008 R2 SP1 .
How can I resolve these annoying events?
Event 1196 failoverClustering:
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
DNS bad key.
Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server.
Event 1579 Failover Clustering
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed to update the DNS record for name 'DAG.domain.local' over adapter 'NIC1-LAN'. The error code was 'DNS bad key. (9017)'. Ensure that a DNS server is accessible from this cluster node and contact your DNS
server administrator to verify the cluster identity can update the DNS record 'DAG.domain.local'.
Frederik

Cause:
The cluster name resource which has been added to the DNS prior to setup active passive cluster ( or any type) need to be updated by the Physical nodes on behalf of the resource record itself. When the active node owns the resources it want to update the
A record in the DNS database and DNS record which was created won’t allow any authenticated user to update the DNS record with the same owner
Solution:
Delete the existing A record for the cluster name and re-create it and make sure select the box says “Allow any authenticated user to update DNS record with the same owner name “Don’t worry about breaking anything , this has “ZERO”
impact to cluster simply delete the A record and re-create as it is suggested here.

Static DNS record deleted automatically- Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I have scoured the Interweb and tried all suggestions to no avail for this one. Here's the scenario:
My client has a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows 2003 domain/forest functional level) server which is a DC and DNS server. The problem is that a DNS record for an Exchange 2010 server is getting deleted every 10 or 40 minutes. This started occurring for no obvious
reason a few weeks ago. The impact is that users cannot connect to Exchange (caching does not seem to help with this, which is odd). I disabled scavenging, which did not resolve the issue. I enabled auditing and found a 4662 event revealing that the domain
administrator account was deleting the server A record (and pointer record). Why this is happening is what I am trying to investigate next: possible bug? The zone is configured as non secure- maybe making it securing it would help? But this does not explain
why the record is being deleted. There is no NIC teaming implemented, which I understand can cause issues.
As an interim measure I created a script employing dnscmd that recreates the record every 15 minutes, which works for the most part, but not always, which is why I added a deny permission on the record for the domain Administrators group, seems so far to
have prevented the record from being deleted.
Any advise on the cause of this and how to investigate why the record is being deleted will be much appreciated!

Hi- thanks for that. However I have seen those links and already followed them: I turned off scavenging (default 7 day configuration) and the record still gets deleted (scavenging date is not due till a later data in any case). Also the record is static
so it would not get scavenged? The option to delete the record if stale is unchecked.
I already enabled auditing and identified event 4662, which identified that the domain administrator account that is deleting the record:

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 BSOD

Hi All,
Experience BSOD's throughout the business day on an Windows 2008 R2 SP1 x64 terminal server (hosted on an hyper-v 2008 host) but not outside of business hours (thinking its an application / driver issue). Other virtual machines on this host are not experiencing
the same issue and the host is not impacted (non-hardware failure).
I've been trying to find out how to diagnose this one by revising the minidump files with WinDBG / 2008R2 symbol files but it keeps coming back to winsys32 as the fault, but can't figure out how to resolve this one.
If anyone could help with this that would be great.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise TS Sessions stuck in Down state

I have an environment of 30 physical Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise servers providing Remote Desktop services running Citrix XenApp 6.5. Over the last 2 months, I've had two instances where one user session was stuck in a "Down" state. The user
could not log in or reconnect to the published app because this one session could not be cleared. I was forced to remove the affected server from the published app, clear off all the users, and reboot in order to clear the Down session.
Research brought me to the following KB articles:
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX128192
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2383928
I attempted to apply the hotfix, but it was "not applicable to your computer". I opened a ticked with MS and the conclusion was that the hotfix, and subsequent versions of the hotfix, have been superseded by Windows Updates. The hotfix apparently has
been rolled into public Windows Updates.
My problem is that this behavior still exists. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a nondestructive method (without rebooting) for clearing out these sessions stuck in a "Down" state? Thanks.

OK. We sent the files over to Microsoft to check on this issue. They came back with the following information.

Silent Install Exchange 2010 SP2 RU7 Management Tools On Windows 7?

We already have Exchange 2010 SP2 RU7 running on a server. We would like to automate deploying the management tools to the Windows 7 workstations of admins that use the console.
Would a batch file with these commands work when run on a Windows 7 SP1 workstation?
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-WebServerManagementTools
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-Metabase
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-LegacySnapIn
Setup /r:MT
How can we deploy the management tools to the workstations with SP2 and RU7 already installed so we don't have to do a separate step of installing the service pack and rollup after doing the base install?

Hi,
First, please make sure the Windows 7 version is 64-bit version. When you create a batch file, you should specify the shared Exchange setup file, you can refer to the following thread.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e3023a7f-dd70-44c5-94c8-528d8eb1a8a1/silent-install-of-exchange-2010-mangement-tools-sp2?forum=mdt
After you have installed Exchange Management Tool on Windows 7, please always ensure you install any Exchange Service Pack which is the same with Exchange server on the PC running EMC.

Windows 2008 R2 is not listed as a supported OS in the release notes.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19424-01/820-4805/820-4805.pdf
It lists:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
If you are able to go to the next version, it is listed as supported in the release notes for ODSEE 11g:

Reboot server. but no luck.

Hi,
I recommend you use event viewer to check if there are any relate event logs. This may help us to find the cause.
In addition, as Amit mentioned, Exchange 2010 SP2 isn't supported by Microsoft, I think upgrading to SP3 is a much more sensible approach.

Please let me know if this is a supported environment.

As far as I know you will NOT be able to access OpenGL functionality through Terminal Services. as the OpenGL implementation provided in that environment is software, version 1.1 - not GPU-accelerated.
I seem to recall there was a thread about a year ago here where someone was trying to do what you are asking. I vaguely remember they were able to make it work, but I'm not sure. You might try doing a search of this forum.

Outlook 2010 SP1 Profile Does Not Update After Moving Mailbox Between Exchange 2010 SP2 Sites

I am working on a large mailbox migration from one AD site to another.
Exchange version at both sites:Exchange 2010 SP2
Two Mailbox Servers: MBX01 in site A / MBX02 in site B
(There is a DAG but keeping this simple)
Two CAS Arrays: CASA.domain.com / CASB.domain.com
The RPCClientAccessServer property is set accordingly. Where MBX01 is set to CASA.domain.com and MBX02 is set to CASB.domain.com
Clients:Outlook 2010 SP1
Scenario: I successfully move a mailbox from Site A to Site B. The Outlook client does not automatically update its server settings to point to the new cas array (CASB.domain.com) and continues to connect to the old CAS server (CASA.domain.com).
I have seen a few articles regarding this pointing to workarounds such as:
- repairing the outlook profile on the client
- delete the existing outlook profile
- run a script to update the prf file (re-cache's email at the client)
I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced this, what their solution was for a large migration and if any roll-ups or service packs have possibly fixed this problem.
I would also like to know if you have seen this affect ActiveSync devices. I am getting mixed results in my tests and thought it may be contributed toward different device types, mobile os versions, etc...
I have posted this to the Exchange 2010 forum as well, just wasn't sure where to start.
Thanks.
Mike
