Best Path to upgrade Exch 2010 SP1/W2K8 R2 to Exch2010 SP3/W2K8 R2 SP1

What would be the best path forward to upgrade an existing Exchange 2010 SP1 server (no rollups) on Windows Server 2008 R2 to Exchange 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1? Exchange is on a DAG with a secondary server.

Hi,
In addition to Ed Crowley's suggestion, I would like to clarify the following thing about upgrading Exchange server and Windows server:
In-place upgrade is not supported, it will break Exchange.
Here is a thread for your reference.
In-place upgrade exchange 2010-SP3 to Windows Server 2012
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/be9e10c3-c090-449b-bff3-693f52490d8d/inplace-upgrade-exchange-2010sp3-to-windows-server-2012?forum=exchange2010
In your case, you need to set up a new server, move mailboxes to it at first.
Secondly, upgrade Windows server.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

Cannot upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 Management Tools to SP2 on Win 8.1 workstation

I have a Win 8.1 workstation that I am trying to update the Exchange Management tools on from 2010 SP1 to SP2. I get an error that says:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); &RoleBinPath\ServiceControl.ps1 EnableServices Critical" was run: "AuthorizationManager check failed.".
The WMI service is being disabled and not starting back up after, causing the error. I have tried the following:
-Confirmed that the ExecutionPolicy is set to undefined/unrestricted for the localmachine
-Confirmed no GPO exists in our domain to restrict this
Every single time I run the install the WMI service switches to disabled and the localmachine Execution Policy is switched to RemoteSigned.
I have tried the Google search steps except for the Setup /M:Recoverserver since I really don't know what that would do to our Exchange environment. I have seen some posts that the Exchange 2010 MGMT tools are not supported on Win 8, which I find hard to
believe. I get no unsupported error just this incredibly frustrating error.
Any ideas?

What you are doing is totally unsupported:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
By the way, Exchange 2010 sp1 and SP2 are no longer supported, the minimum supported is SP3.

Move Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and log files to another partition

My company has been running Exchange Server 2010 SP1 on virtual machine for almost three years. My colleague created this virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) before Exchange Server installation with following partitions:
C partition - for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 OS (size 40 GB)
E partition - for Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and logs (size 410 GB)
Those two partitions are on the same virtual hard disk "next to one another" so I can not extend C partition which gets filled up with IIS logs (when C partition free space is under 10 GB I am backing up these logs with backup software and afterwards
deleting them thus freeing up space on C partition). I have 2 databases (along with Public Folders) and size of these databases and their logs is around 235 GB.
Is it safe to move these databases and their logs to another partition which I would create on separate virtual hard disk for this purpose only and how much time this process might take since during this process databases
would be dismounted and inaccessible to all users? He made big blunder in my opinion but I have to solve this.

Yes, its safe to move the DB/Logs. You can follow the procedure mentioned in this article to do it via EMC or Shell... http://exchangeserverpro.com/move-exchange-2010-database-folder/
But it depends on various factors on how long it is going take, like size of the database/logs, server performance, storage performance etc...
Besides this, upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 to SP3, SP1/SP2 aren't supported anymore! http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2014/04/09/end-of-exchange-2010-sp2-support.aspx

Upgrade directly from Exchange Server 2010 SP1 to Exchange Server 2010 SP3

Hi,
We have current setup with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 ( DAG & CAS Array with WNLB).
Can we upgrade directly from Exchange Server 2010 SP1 to
Exchange Server 2010 SP3 . ?
Thanks in Advanced.
Regards,Ali

Hi Ali,
Yes, you can. Please upgrade your Exchange 2010 SP1 server roles in the following order: Client Access, Hub Transport, Unified Messaging, Mailbox, Edge Transport. What's more, please note that when you install a Service Pack or update rollup on a server
that's a DAG member, several services will be stopped during the installation, including all Exchange services and the Windows Cluster service.
For more information, here is a helpful article for your reference.

Hi,
Please try to use ADSIedit to check if you have two federated email account. You may need to delete the double one.
Remove the FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042 e-mail account by using the ADSIEDIT tool. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type adsiedit.msc, and then click
OK.
Locate the Default Naming Context node, and then locate to the
CN=Users container.
Locate and then right-click the CN=FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042 container. Then, click
Delete.
If that is not help, then I recommend y ou to remove all those two federatedemail account and then create a new one.
Rerun the Exchange Server 2010 Mailbox role setup application.
Create a new federated e-mail account by using the following command:
New-Mailbox -Arbitration -Name FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042 -UserPrincipalName FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042@<Default_Accepted_Domain>

Upgrade From Exchange 2010 SP1 to SP3 - Schema Upgrade Question

Hello,
We're currently running Exchange 2010 SP1 in our environment and want to upgrade to SP3. I just had a couple of questions related to preparing AD for this new SP that I was hoping that someone could answer.
Setup
We have a single forest with two domains within it (A and B for example). The schema master is in Domain A but this domain doesn't contain any Exchange 2010 servers. Domain B contains our 2010 CAS and Mailbox servers.
Both domains have Windows 2003 SP2 domain controllers.
I understand that before I proceed with the upgrade to SP3, I first need to update the AD schema on our schema master. I was planning on doing the following :
Log onto an existing Windows 2008 R2 64 bit "member" server in domain A (containing the schema master) with an account which is a member of the Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins groups.
Run SETUP.EXE /PrepareAD.
Do I need to also run SETUP.EXE /PrepareDomain on domain A as well or does the /PrepareAD sort this out ?
I was then going to turn my attention to domain B (which contains the 2010 CAS and Mailbox servers) and do the following :
Log onto an existing Windows 2008 R2 64 bit 2010 Mailbox server with an account which is a member of the Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins groups.
Run SETUP.EXE /PrepareDomain
Is this the correct procedure to follow ? I assume that I can then go ahead and start to upgrade the Exchange 2010 SP1 servers in the following sequence :
CAS\HUB Server(s)
Mailbox Server(s).
Clarification on the AD upgrade steps would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

This has all the info you need:

Prepare Active Directory and Domains
and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629560(v=exchg.141).aspx
Upgrade Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010 SP1, Exchange 2010 SP2, or Exchange 2010 SP3
Note: There is no harm in simply running setup/PrepareAllDomains.
You should break out each Prep step since you have multiple domains:
setup/PrepareSchema
setup /PrepareAD
setup /PrepareAllDomains
you can run all of these from the same DC you run the setup/PrepareSchema step!

Transport service does not start automatically after upgrade to exchange 2010 SP2 from Exchange 2010 SP1

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade Exchange 2010 SP2 from SP1, but Transport service does not start automatically.
Tried manually start services, it started successfully but again goes down within few seconds automatically.
Reboot server. but no luck.
Any help.
MD

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.
Thanks.

UAG 2010 SP1 upgrade to SP4 question

We are currrently running UAG 2010 SP1 and would like to upgrade to SP4. Do we need to apply all the earlier service packs first before being able to install SP4? Or can we go straight to SP4?

Hiya,
you should have a look at system requirements on the different service pack pages:
Service Pack 2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2710791/en-us
Service Pack 3
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36788
Service Pack 4
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41181
You need to have at least SP2 on the TMG in order to upgrade to SP4 for UAG.

Exchange 2010 SP1 Upgrade to SP2 and SP3. Choose language.

Hello.
I going to install Exchange 2010 SP1 multilanguage and then update to SP2 and SP3
But then i download SP2 from Microsoft it's ask fоr choose language.
It ask about installer language or about Exchange language?
What language i need to choose if i have multilanguage Exchange SP1 installer?
And if i want to Exchange EMC be in English and Outlook on client machine shows Russian what language i need to choose when install first role from Exchange 2010 SP1 multilang DVD?

Exchange EMC language depends on OS version where you are running it.
Besides about client language you have to choose Russian language pack during install. More info below...
The language of the Outlook user interface that an Outlook user sees, including the content generated by Exchange, depends on the following:
The language the user is using in Outlook
Whether the language they're using in Outlook is supported by Exchange 2010
Whether the language they're using in Outlook has been configured to be available on the Exchange 2010 server
Consider the following scenarios:
When an Outlook user who's set their language to <Language A> signs in to their Exchange 2010 mailbox and both Outlook and Exchange 2010 support the language the user has specified, <Language A>, the user will see all messages and Exchange-generated
mailbox components, for example, the Inbox, in Language A.
When an Outlook user who's set their language to <Language A> signs in to their Exchange 2010 mailbox that's been set to <Language B>, the Outlook user will see the Outlook user interface in Language A, but will see the content generated
by Exchange. For example, by default, folder names such as Inbox,
Deleted Items, and Sent Items display in <Language B>.
You can change the Exchange mailbox language setting on the server using Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell. For information about how to use the Shell to change the language setting for a mailbox on a server, see
Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration.

the right hand side select the Administrator group,goto the properties
3)Click members tab and add Exchange Trusted Subsystem
4)Click ok twice
5)Reboot the Exchange server
6)Rerun the Exchange setup

Workaround instead of Upgrading Exchange 2010 Severs to SP3

Hi
I have a customer in an exchange 2010 environment who has 4 exchange servers in place with DAG and NLB setup. We plan to go ahead with a Hybrid setup however just need to clarify if there is any workaround that we could apply instead of having to upgrade
there exchange server to 2010 SP3?
Thanks & Regards
Aaqib

Hi,
I notice that you want to deploy hybrid environment, and don’t upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP3.
Depending on the Microsoft document, Exchange 2010 SP3 support hybrid deployment with Exchange 2013 CU1 or later version, however Exchange 2010 SP1 and SP2 are not supported.
More details about Hybrid deployment prerequisites, for your reference:

UM 2010 SP1 MWI with Mitel 3300

We have an Exchange UM - Mitel 3300 configuration in which before SP 1 of Exch 2010 the MWI worked great when using a Telephone Extension dial plan. After upgrading to SP1, MWI appears to only be possible if extensions are listed in the Mitel SIP Peer
Profile Assignment form. Has anyone encountered this behavior and know a work around? Did the Notify message to turn on MWI light change in SP1?

Apparently the automatic email notify stopped on this thread.
Anyway, the work around is to either list all the extensions you have in UM in the SIP Peer Profile Assignment Form and associate with the SIP Peer Profile or the easiest thing to do is to use wildcards. To get all numbers possibly transferred back from
the UM system you would create SIP Peer Profile Assignment listing as such:
1*
2*
3*
etc.
This of course is a workaround and I am still waiting for a true fix from Mitel. This happens with a fax server SIP trunk we have and I think it is ridiculous that you have to have a workaround like this.

Upgrade scenario order SP1 for SLES11 and ZCM11

Hello,
At the moment we have:
SLES 11.0 with ZCM 10.3.0 (2x primary, 1x external sybase db, 1x sattelite img)
When ZCM11 is public we want to upgrade.
What is the best order to upgrade?
1. First upgrade all the servers to SLES 11 SP1 and then inplance to ZCM11, or
2. First upgrade all the servers to ZCM 11 and then upgrade SLES 11 to SP1.
I hope someone call tell me what's the best supported upgrade scenario.

SLES 11 SP1 is not supported in 10.3.0, Hence for any supported
configuration you would need to update to ZCM 11.0 (or 10.3.1) prior to
updating to SLES 11 SP1.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
