Does Outlook "Connection Status" Show Rollup Updates on Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi all,
I've looked for this answer everywhere, and can't seem to find it. When you CTRL right-click on the Outlook taskbar icon, and select "Connection Status", one of the pieces of information displayed is the Version number of the connected Exchange
server.
Does this build number include installed rollup updates, or does it show only the installed Service Pack. For example, if it's an Exchange 2010 SP3 server with RU6 installed, will I see 14.3.195.1
or just 14.3.123.4 (the SP3 build number)? I'm trying to use this information to troubleshoot
client issues, and it'd be helpful to quickly see if certain updates are installed on the Exchange server or not.
Thanks!

Hi,
Just as what mentioned above, connection status displays the Exchange version number.
Start Outlook and connect to the Exchange server if this isn’t done automatically already.
Hold CTRL while clicking on the Outlook icon in the Notification Area
(located in the right bottom area near the time; expand the Notification Area first if the Outlook icon does not show).
From the context menu that pops-up choose: Connection Status…
Scroll the horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the Version column.
(if the dialog is empty, then you are not connected to Exchange)
Here you’ll see a version number.

Outlook 2013 Category view not updating after Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3

After updating to Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3 last night, users who use categories view in Outlook 2013 are complaining that the view does not update. The alert is received in the notification area and the unread message count next to Inbox updates appropriately.
The view can be force updated by switching between All and Unread, by using Reset View, or closing and opening Outlook. It seems anything that forces a 'redraw' of the view will update it - except for the actual reception of email. I easily replicated
this issue. For reference:
Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3
Windows 7 x64 Ent
Outlook 2013 (15.0.4551.1004) 32-bit
I do see that SP3 RU4 has been released, however the only change listed is a security patch.
Thank you for any ideas.

Hi, Everyone –
This has been a known issue for a very long time – we have people at our workplace that are very disappointed since a feature as great as categorizing email (not using tasks) has become broken and has not even been considered to be fixed for
over half a year. It was not fixed in the updates for Patch Tuesday this week.
I would like to confirm that this is an issue with Outlook 2010 and 2013 when running the latest Exchange 2010 and there is NO FIX
– I have scoured the internet for a solution – all proposed "textbook" solutions do not work and I am positive that the issue can be recreated; however, everyone from Microsoft does not mention trying to recreate the issue at all.
The workaround of creating a rule to send new emails to a category could break other pre-existing rules and cause more frustration and wasted time for users/IT before and after the issue is fixed.
Please fix this issue sooner than later, as the Categories view is completely broken and unusable at this point in time.
Regards,
IT Helper

What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?

Quick question.
What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?
Hasan

Hi
Your question is a big vague. Extracting the rollup will use some space but you can delete the files afterwards.
Are you concerned about space while installing? If you have adequate space it shouldnt be a problem.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
I am asking space after installation, it will definitely install some files so how much space extra space it needed in exchange directory drive.

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?

Rollup 6 for Exchange 2010 SP3

Does anyone know when Microsoft is going to release either Rollup 6 or a patch for Exchange 2010 SP3? Rollup 3 for SP3 introduced the following issues:
“Some users (not all of them) report that they don't see new emails in their Outlook 2010 box on Shared folders, even though they got the new email message envelope. When they change folder and back to the Inbox the new mail is suddenly visible. Same sort
of "delay" happens when users mark a message for follow-up or try to change a message from unread to read.”
We have installed Rollup 5 but it did not address the issue.
Thanks
Dave

Hi,
Currently, there is no official document about the release of RU6 for Exchange 2010 SP3. If the RU6 for Exchange 2010 SP3 will be coming, you can find this information in the Exchange Team Blog.

Thanks for your understanding.

Issue with Update Rollup 5 for Exchange 2010 SP3 - Mailboxes that were auto mapped not working

Below is my response in another thread but creating a new one in the hopes that someone has the same issue and a solution besides mine below.
Ever since we installed Update Rollup 5 for SP3 Exchange 2010 mailboxes that were auto mapped are not accessible. They all get the same error.
Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to the Microsoft Exchange has failed.
What I have been doing is removing the users permission, then adding them back using the noautomap switch in Powershell. After doing that, the user manually adds the mailbox and all is well.
Just a note here, I suspect it may have something to do with the version of Outlook 2010. We are running an older version here. I think only SP1 with no other incremental updates. Office is up to SP2. Also, one of the users I was working with could not access
the mailbox no matter what we tried but she can walk over to another workstation and open Outlook and access the very same mailbox so that pretty much proves its software related particularly with Outlook.
I cannot reproduce the problem on a workstation (XP) with a newer version of Outlook.
This has been wearing me out and I suspected the Update Rollup all long. Now I am confident as others are having the same problem. If you find out anything on how to fix this other than the steps above, let me know.

Not sure why it was suggested to use the auto mapping feature to grant permissions because that is the component that is causing the issue. Also, there is nothing wrong with the auto configuration because the user can access their own mailbox just fine and
also select mailboxes in their Outlook that were NOT auto mapped.
With that said, here is how I fixed them all.
Remove the permissions using the Exchange Console. Don't forget Send As
Wait about 15 minutes. The mailbox should disappear from the users Outlook
Open an Exchange PowerShell window and run the following command:
.\add-mailboxpermissionsnoautomap.ps1 -Identity mailbox -User user -AccessRights FullAccess
Have the user add the mailbox to their Outlook using the manual process.
All is well....
If you don't have the PS script add-mailboxpermissionsnoautomap.ps1, you can download it. I stumbled across it a few years ago and use it all the time. If you can't find it, just use the Exchange built in command for adding mailbox folder permissions but
specify automap $false.
The idea here is to grant the user access without auto mapping.

Outlook connectivity and mail flow issue on Exchange 2010 3 node DAG

Hi,
I have 3 node DAG, 2 (NODE A, NODE B) in Production site and 1(NODE C) in DR site. but just 1 AD Site.
when I have the active databases on NODE B, everything works fine. no issues to report.
but when I move the databases on NODE A, outlook gets connected with trying to update folders. Furhter, emails will be in outbox and no new emails will be delivered to the users. After an hour or so emails get delivered from outbox.
Even after supplying the credentials OWA doesnt login. just tries to load.
No issues when I move the servcies on NODE C.
ANy idea what could be the issue?
Thanks,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
According to your description, there is one-hour delay in the process of sending and receiving emails.
To check if it’s caused by Autodiscover service, we can use the tool Test Email AutoConfiguration：
1. Hold CTRL and Click the outlook Icon in the system tray and select “Test Email Auto Configuration”.
2. Deselect the “Use Guessmart” and “Secure Guessmart Authentication” and click Test.
3. Check SCP value returned
For more information, please refer to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchdxb/archive/2012/05/10/troublshooting-autodiscover-exchange-2007-2010.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2663435
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262052
If connectivity is well, the issue is mostly likely caused by the Exchange mail submission service.
We can check if the service work properly. And the issue may be not related to the Hardware Load Balancer. Because the emails are stuck in the client side.

Hi,
I have seen this same error before. That issue resolved by Exchange 2010 SP3 RU7.
So please refer to KB 2961522
and install Update Rollup 7 for Exchange 2010 SP3 to solve this issue.

Exchange 2010 SP3 Update 7 breaks OWA for some IE11 users

I had issues earlier with OWA on some clients running Internet Explorer 11 (as
documented in this thread), and managed to resolve it by disabling compatiblity mode in IE11.
After SP3 Update Rollup 7 the issue came back, and no tinkering with the compatibility mode will solve it.
Have anyone encountered this issue before? The issue only appears on certain machines in their own AD OU as well as own subnets.

Hi,
I haven't heard that Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 7 has this issue so far. In your case, I would like to verify if you remove all interim updates for Exchange 2010 SP3 before installing Rollup 7. If no, remove it and check the result.
Here is a kb for your reference.

After Exchange 2010 SP3 and rollup 4 update conditional formatting causes messages not to appear in Outlook 2010

Hi,
after updating to exchange 2010 sp 3 from sp 2 and also updating to rollup 4, users who use conditional formatting cannot see new message unless they close and reopen Outlook.
If you decide to change the font colour for unread messages, the messages do not appear in Outlook but a pop up indicates that a new message has arrived.
If you reopen Outlook, the unread messasge appears.
remove the conditional formatting and no issue with viewing unread messages as they arrive.
running Outook version 14.0.7106.5003
is this a known issue? a user who never used conditional formatting will experience this right away.
Thanks,
rudif

Hi rudif,
If the issue only happens to users who use conditional formatting and OWA can work well for all mailbox, I think the issue should be in client side.
Please try to reset View then set the conditional formatting back to have a try. If the issue continues, please try to recreate the Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists. Also try restarting Outlook in Safe mode by running
Outlook /safe switch.
Thanks,

Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8v2 causes client connectivity issues

I installed SP3 Rollup 8v2 this weekend, going from 7. Since then we are having random client connectivity issues. New profiles can't be created, and some users can't access resources when booking meetings. We can do a registry fix to their machines to add
a DS Server, but this is a workaround only. I have uninstalled the Rollup 8v2 and we are still having the issue.
I thought 8v2 was supposed to fix this issue!

Hi,
According to your post, I understand that outlook client cannot connect to Exchange server to configure profile and cannot get list of resources room when upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8v2, the temporary solution is that specify the DC in registry.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Is there error message when configure Outlook failed?
Please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration and Outlook connection status to double confirm the URL and FQDN of Exchange server.
As additional, please run below command to double check the state of Exchange system component:
Get-ServerComponentstate -Identity “servername”
If the state is Inactive, please run below command to active relevant component:
Set-ServerComponentState <Identity> -Component “component name” -Requester HealthAPI -State Active

Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 7 not showing right version

I have installed Rollup 7. I can see it in programs installed / updates
but when I check the version number via the shell or console it show the number corresponding to sp3 no rollups
tried to re install rollup7, but it fails

There is:
Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2,
and Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 SP1
But, as far as I know, there is no Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010
SP3 yet.
Please take a moment to Vote as Helpful and/or Mark as Answer where applicable. Thanks.
That's correct Idan. Exchange 2010 SP3 RU7 is the latest - released in August this year:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2014/08/26/exchange-2010-sp3-ru7-released.aspx
Just like in Exchange 2003 & 2007 only service packs increment the version # you see in the management console and shell. Check the exsetup file as mentioned in the first post Idan linked.

Removed Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8; some clients still having Outlook issues

We have removed Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8 and rebooted the Exchange servers; but some Outlook clients are still experiencing the issues where calendar appointments can't be saved. They get "the item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted
or moved or you do not have permission." Then "the operation failed". Everyone has created new Outlook profiles. This fixes some computers; but not all. This is happening on Windows 7 with Office 2010 and Windows 8.1 with Office 2010.
Does anyone have a fix?
Thanks!
Mary Cato

Hi Mary,
Is there the same issue when using OWA ?
If OWA is ok, except recreate outlook profile, I also recommend you try moving mailboxes to another database and check if any helps.

Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 6 breaks first OWA login (timezone selection) on SBS 2011

The Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 6 broke the OWA for Users who access OWA for the first time and have to set a timezone. They get this error:

This Server is an SBS2011.
The update broke nothing on a "normal" 2008R2 with exchange 2010.
Uninstalling RU6 helped but thats obviously not the desired way.
Removing the RenderTimeZoneSelection() call from languageselection.aspx obviously helped but then there is no timezone dropdown displayed anymore. The timezone dropdown is working normaly in other places like ecp. Afaik this error occours only in the languageselection.aspx
file which is displayed for "new" OWA users. (Users without a timezone set)
my workaround was to set the language and timezone for these mailboxes via exchange shell.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
