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.

  • Exchange 2010 SP1 management console fail

    Exchange 2010 SP1 management console fail on local exchange servers.
    The following error occurred while attempting to connect to the specified Exchange server CAS123.domain.co.za
    The attempt to connect to
    http://cas123.domain.co.za/PowerShell using “kerberos” authentication failed: Connecting to remote server failed with following error message: The WS-Management service cannot process the request because IP address cas123.domain.co.za is invalid. For more
    information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
    However do note that the Exchange Management Shell also fails with the exact same error on both my CAS and Mailbox servers.
    Though I am still able to open both tools via my backup server.
    All ells works fine.
    nslookup resolves the exchange servers as they should be. Frankly I am stumped as to the invalid IP address.
    My exchange environment have been running problem free for years and this problem only occurred last week Thursday after some .NET updates.

    Hi,
    As per the information and details provided by you, the only thing that I can figure out is that: -
    You receive an error: Exchange 2010 SP1 management console fail.
    There are two methods to resolve this problem: -
    Method 1: -
    Close all MMC/EMC instances before proceeding.
    Open the Registry editor (regedit) as the user you run the EMC under.
    Go to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\AdminTools
    Look for value, Node structure setting.
    If it is there, back it up and then remove it.
    Method 2: -
    Close all MMC/EMC instance before proceeding.
    Open powershell or powershell IDE as the user you run the EMC under and execute the following command:
    Remove-Item Property- Path
    HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\AdminTools\ -Name NodeStructureSettings
    Close Powershell
    I hope this information will be helpful for you. Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong.
    Thanks and regards

    I haven't been able to find anything on the web regarding this error, so any help would be appreciated.  We used to ADMT to migrate users into a new domain, but what it looks like to me (and I'm sure I'm wrong) is that the same user is set up in migrate
    OUT as the regular Users Container.
    What am I missing???
    Thanks in advance.

    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

    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!

    Tried manually start services, it started successfully but again goes down within few seconds automatically.
    Reboot server. but no luck.
    Any help.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Exchange 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 6 to Exchange 2010 SP3

    Hi there,
    I am planning to install Exchange 2010 SP3 next week and after reading some of the related comments on this site I got a little worried.
    Our current Exchange environment consists of the following:
    1 x CAS/HT Server
    2 x Mailbox Server (members of a DAG)
    The OS of the 3 servers is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. All servers are running Exchange 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 6.
    The Execution Policies on our Exchange servers are set as follows:
    – CAS/HT Server:
      Scope ExecutionPolicy
      MachinePolicy Undefined
      UserPolicy Undefined
      Process Undefined
      CurrentUser Undefined
      LocalMachine Unrestricted
    – Mailbox Servers:
      Scope ExecutionPolicy
      MachinePolicy Undefined
      UserPolicy Undefined
      Process Undefined
      CurrentUser Undefined
      LocalMachine RemoteSigned
    Please note that we do not have any Group Policies that defined the PowerShell script execution policy.
    I would be very grateful if you (or any of the kind readers) could help me with following questions:
    1- Do I have to change the execution policy on our Exchange servers before installing SP3? If I have to change a policy, what should I change? And how would you recommend I should do this?
    2- After installing SP3 on a server, can I install the latest rollup update on this server before moving to the next server? For example, can I do the following:
      i. Install SP3 followed by RU 5 on the CAS/HT server -> Apply the our custom settings
      ii. Install SP3 followed by RU 5 on the first mailbox server
      iii. Install SP3 followed by RU 5 on the second mailbox server
    Many thanks,
    M

    Hi Amit,
    Many thanks for the swift reply.
    That's correct.  We didn't set the Powershell execution policy via Group Policy.  We only configured the execution policy of "LocalMachine" to "Unrestricted" on the CAS/HT server using the "Set-ExecutionPolicy" command on the server.
    The mailbox servers' execution policies have not been changed and are set to those values by default.
    I must admit, I go event more confused when I read the "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2668686" and "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2810617" articles.
    But it looks like I shouldn't worry as our current Powershell execution policies shouldn't affect the upgrade. Right?

  • 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:

  • 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

    In your case, you need to set up a new server, move mailboxes to it at first.
    Secondly, upgrade Windows server.

  • Delete emails from a specific folder in Exchange 2010 SP1

    Hi all,
     Since Exchange 2010 SP1 does not have “-DeleteContent” parameter in mailboxexportrequest any more, how do we delete emails from a specific folder of a user mailbox? (Personal folder, not default folders).
    Please note that the ASQ for searchquery in Search-Mailbox does not support “folder”.
    If going for retention policy, is there a way to tag a retention policy to a specific folder of a user mailbox without user attention?
    William Yang
    William Yang

    Hi William,
    Yes, you may not run the Search-Mailbox to delete items in specific folder at the moment. Hope it will be back soon.
    You can create a Personal tag, users can apply personal tags to folders they create. But users have to select related Retention Policy using Outlook or OWA manually.
    For more information, please see:

  • Exchange 2010 SP1 - Export to PST, Remove Mailbox

    I'm looking for a PowerShell script that will allow me to use Exchange 2010 SP1 to export a mailbox to PST and then when finished, delete the user and mailbox. I typically do this process manually about 6 months after an employee leaves the company (allowing
    for live access to the mailbox and message forwarding to their supervisor).
    Ideally, the script would take input for a mailbox ID, and then export the file to a file of the mailbox name (Prompt: jdoe -> New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox jdoe -FilePath \\server\path\jdoe.pst). After the export is complete, it would schedule the
    mailbox for complete removal and remove the completed mailbox export request. The prompt and export process should be simple enough, but I suspect the difficulty will come with monitoring for the completed request before acting on the removal.
    Thanks for any help provided! :)

    Thanks for the guidance!
    I think I was able to come up with something that will do the trick nicely:
    $Name = Read-Host "Please enter a mailbox to archive"
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name -FilePath \\Exchange\C$\ExchangeExports\$Name.pst
    while ((Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name | Where {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"}))
    sleep 60
    Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name | Remove-MailboxExportRequest -Confirm:$false
    Remove-Mailbox -Identity $Name -Confirm:$false
    Hopefully it may help others.

  • Coexistence & Upgrade Exchange 2010 SP3 Unified Messaging to Exchange 2013 SP1 UM

    Hello Experts,
    We're doing Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 upgrade.
    This upgrade also include Unified Messaging component which is currently working with Exchange 2010 SP3 and Lync 2013.
    We have one dial plan and its SIP URI and Secured.
    Looking for high level steps to plan coexistence and upgrade of Unified Messaging  from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 integrated with Lync 2013. I'll also appreciate tips on what kind of certificate and its Subject name(s).
    Microsoft documentation is not very clear and I found it confusing for my scenario. Since I we don't want any downtime for UM users, looking for some help.
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Hello Hinte,
    Thanks for the information. I have been to this article which explains fresh deployment but doesn't address coexistence and migration scenario.
    I'm looking for high level steps only. Can anyone validate and suggest if I'm missing something!
    1) Install new CAS+MBX Server
    2) Move system mailbox as per MS documentation to Exchange 2013 MBX
    3) On CAS+MBX Server Enabled internal CA trusted Cert for UM Services.Internal
    CA certs contain only CAS+MBX server's FQDN only.UM services Startup Mode is set to "Dual".
    4) Assigned existing SIP URI Based Exchange 2010 Dial plan to New Exchange 2013 Servers. 
    5) Run Exchucutil.ps1
    in Exchange 2013 and OcsUMUtil in Lync 2013 (Again?)
    Will this be enough or Do I need to create New Auto attendant or
    Haunt Group etc?
    Thanks for all the help!
