Exchange 2010: Installing Server Rollup

Environment: (2) Servers in a DAG with (9) databases, all db's residing on Server1. I have already patched Server2. What is the proper procedure for installing the rollup on Server1? Not all the databases have copies on Server2,
i.e. public folders and a couple others.
Sorry, I didn't see a forum for Exchange 2010.
Thanks,

Hi,
To install update on DAG members, you can look at the article provided by Andy.
If users want to access public folders during the process of installing the rollup on Server1, you need to create a public folder database on Server2 and set this new public folder database as default public folder database for all mailbox databases.
Before you install update on Server1, you need to move active database to Server2 first.

I have AD and Exchange 2010 installed on different servers. can I control both with powershell from the AD server?

Hi all,
I have a lab env that include: 2 server 2012 with AD DS, 1 server 2012 with Exchange 2010, 1 server 2012 that I will install later Edge server.
I have a script that can build all my AD and Exchange infrastructure . This script was tested on single server that hosted both AD DS and Exchange.
My question is how to run the script let say from one of the AD DS servers and do his magic also on the Exchange server?

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?

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.
We are having issues since we installed SP3 Rollup updates 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Issue1 - People get an error messages constantly popping up when they access our webmail. The error messages are:
An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled. and
Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again.
Issue2 - When I open the Exchange Management Shell I get the following error:
Failed to connect to an Exchange server in the current site. Enter the server FQDN where you want to connect.
Issue3 - We have been using third party software to filter spam email. It is installed on our Exchange server. Since the updates it has not been working and we have tons of spam coming through. I dont think that this issue is that important at the moment and
hope that it will be fixed after resolving issues 1 and 2.
We uninstalled all four rollup updates in hopes that everything would go back to normal but it hasnt. We still have the same issues.
Currently we are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2008R2 SP1.
Please help.
Thanks.
Greg

Hi,
Based on the description, you got the error below when you tried to accessed OWA after rollup update installation.
"An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled, and Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again."
For this issue, I recommend you check the OWA virtual directory to see if "Redirect requests to this destination" is checked. If it is checked, please uncheck the option. Then please restart IIS service to check the result.
Open IIS Manager -> owa -> HTTP Redirect -> uncheck "Redirect requests to this destination:"

Exchange 2010 SP2, Update Rollup 7

Our setup before we applied Rollup 7:
Exchange 2010, SP2 Update Rollup 6 running on all servers.
2 Mailbox servers w/ DAG
3 CAS/HUB Servers using a hardware load balancer
No problems prior to the Rollup 7 installation.
The Rollup went fine on 4 out of the 5 Exchange Servers. On the 5th server, however, there are problems. The first time I tried to install RU7 it was about 5 hours in when I cancelled it. So I tried again and the install has been running for 13
hours and it appears to be only about 40% complete. The progress bar has been stuck in the same spot for nearly all of that time. Per an article I found on Susan Bradley site (SBS Diva) I had verified that "Check for publisher's certificate revocation"
was disabled in IE prior to the start of the install.
I have seen Service Packs take a long time in the past and I have Rollup Updates take a long time too, but this is taking a very long time.
Anyone else observing this issue with this latest Update Rollup for Exch10, SP2?
Thanks.

Hi,
When I try to install Exchange 2010 SP3 roll up 7, am getting the below error:
The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may
be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade.
and please find below event log:
Product: Microsoft Exchange Server - Update '{A93DA06F-A5B8-4DF8-8B3F-B285E014C659}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for instructions

Can you please help me with this error.

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:
Request
Url: https://xxxxx:443/owa/languageselection.aspx
User: xxxxxx
EX Address: /o=First Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=xxxxx

System.Web.UI.Page.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
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.

Exchange 2013 CAS server connection to Exchange 2010 Mailbox server

Hi Guys,
I have a quick question i am planning to upgrade my infra from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and i have come across a small question, my infra looks likes below
3 Exchange server (CAS+ HT + MBX roles) Exchange 2010
1 Exchange server MBX role For journlaing Exchange 2010
1 CAS for internet owa access Exchange 2010
Now i will be installing exchange 2013 CAS on 2 box and MBX on 3 box
will decomm the 3 exchange box which has (CAS+ HT + MBX roles) and 1 CAS which we use for owa access.
will keep the Journaling server as it is will not be decomming it as of now.
My question is is will i be able to connect to the journaling mailbox's which are hosted on exchange 2010 journaling server without actually having any 2010 cas server, will exchange 2013 cas directly help me to connect to the journal mailbox or would i need
to add CAS role on Exchange 2010 journaling server and enable outlook anywhere configure the directories with the url's to make it working.
Please suggest on the same.
BR/Deepak

Hi TheLearner,
Thank you for your question.
Exchange 2013 didn’t connect to the journal mailbox directly when we access it by outlook/OWA. The journal mailbox will connect the former Exchange 2010 CAS. Or we could migrate Journaling mailbox to Exchange 2013. Because Exchange 2010 could communicate
with Exchange 2010 by RPC, but Exchange 2013 could communicate with Exchange 2013 by HTTPS.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

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.

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

EXCHANGE 2010 - Edge server with forefront FULL OF SPAM

Hi there.
We have recieved on Exchange 2010 EDGE server a lot of spam 200k messages in queue.
We have stoped inboud SMTP traffic on firewall to stop the attack.
Any suggestion how to empty the queue? I've heard there is a way to rename the "Exchange queue folder" but forget the procedure.
How to stop the attacker?

Hi There,
Use the KB below to find the Queue DB, then stop the service listed In the KB, rename the old DB and create a new one with the same name, than start the Service.

Unfortunately there is NO help on the Microsoft site about this error so I have NO clue how to fix this or what file is missing. What do I do next? I'd like to get this installed and running over this weekend. Can anyone shed light on this problem? It's
2012 R2, just patched the 15 updates that it found BEFORE installing (or attempting I should say) Exchange 2010.

Hi,
The support version of Operating system for Exchange 2010 is as follows
64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 Standard with Service Pack 2 (SP2)
64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise with SP2
64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1
64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter RTM or later
Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter RTM or later
Windows Server 2012 (Requires Exchange 2010 SP3 or later)
Officially Ms not announced to have Exchange 2010 in Windows Server 2012 R2. Check it out the service pack you are using in Exchange server 2010.
Try to download new iso image from the Microsoft Volume licensing page or from download site..may the image can be corrupted.

Best practice - which server OS should I use for Exchange 2010 install

We currently have 2 exchange 2007 boxes running Server 2003. the plan is to upgrade to exchange 2010 (I'd prefer 2013 but the powers that be want 2010), and I have been asked to follow Microsoft best practice. The problem is I can't find anything to point
me in the direction of the recommended server OS, I can find ones it will work on but nothing to say Microsoft recommend this...
We have licenses for Server 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012 available, which one should I advise is the Microsoft recommendation?

Thanks Andy,
So is there no actual best practice recommendation for a server OS to run Exchange 2010 on? I agree that 2012 would be the one to go for, but the people making the decision on how we do this want reasons, and as they don't really have a lot of technical
understanding I need to be able to go to them with "Use Server 20xx because it's Microsoft best practice".
If there isn't a best practice recommendation I will try the longer support life and more options for high availability with 2012.
Well, you probably wont find a "best practice" as much as a "its supported" stance from Micorosoft.
As in all these things, there may be other reasons a business chooses to use 2008 over 2012 etc...

Exchange 2010 install error 1603

Environment: Windows Server 2K8, Exchange 2K10
This is the first exchange server I'm trying to install. I get to copying files in the installer and it dies with exchangeserversetup.msi error code 1603.
I look in the install logs and it says Error in rollback skipped, no system restore sequence number for this installation
I've check the CRL in internet options and that's turned off.
Any ideas?

So, does anybody know why this happens? . I have the same problem:
-Windows 2008 R2.
-Exchange 2010 Enterprise 6-month trial , copied to my local drive first, and launched the installation from c:
-The message error is the same.
I tried all of what is mentioned above:
1- rollup.
2- Copying the installation files to the local disk.
In my case, a file is missing in the installation folder, and it is true, I can't see that file, but I downloaded from Microsoft, just three days ago.
