Exchange 2010 SP3 install

Hi,
I am running with Exchange 2010 SP1 in DAG & CAS/HUB in cluster mode. need to upgrade to SP3. few things need to know
1. Schema upgrade will be done I as read in the article. can this create any issue? what is the best measure to safeguard any problems of schema upgrade. Do we do this along with exchange setup or we should run schema upgrade prior to install exchange 2010
SP3?
2. Any impact on active sync, outlook anywhere & HUB connectors side post SP3?
3. Do we need to take any exchange related backups as we are running mailbox, CAS/HUB servers in redundant mode?
Please share your experiences.
Regards,
VIpin

Hello,
1. It is a good practice to run schema updates before launching Exchange update. You should also make backups of your domain controllers before any schema updates because these
particular changes cannot be rolled back easily.
3. Yes, you should have backups (tested!) of your Exchange servers. Server's redundancy (DAG's, CAS Arrays etc) doesn't protect your servers if the update fails.
Hope it helps,
Adam

  • Exchange 2010 SP3 install question

    Greetings!  I am planning on installing the SP3 update for Exchange 2010 in preparation for a Hybrid deployment with O365.  After installing the SP3 update to all Exchange servers in our environment, I was going to then install the RU8 on the servers. 
    Hopefully I can perform all of this during one maintenance window.  I have already performed the schema update for SP3 during our most recent maintenance window.
    I have been scouring the forums for any potential upgrade issues.  I wanted to know if there was any concern about the RU8 update for SP3 that might affect our environment from past experience of other admins; whether it be Outlook clients (we use mostly
    Outlook 2010 with some Outlook 2013) or OWA.  We are currently on SP2, RU6.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    As what Amit mentioned above, you can upgrade from Exchange 2010 SP2 RU6 to SP3 RU8, as long as this version is supported for Hybrid deployment with O365.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629560(v=exchg.141).aspx
    To DAGs, please consider the following conditions:
    Upgrade passive servers first. Place server in maintenance mode if any monitoring applications are in use. Stop any scheduled tasks or other processes running on the DAG member or within that DAG that could adversely affected the DAG member being upgraded
    or the upgrade process.

  • Exchange 2010 SP3 install failure

    While attempting to update my first CAS to SP3 from SP2 I am getting the following error.
    The install appears to be looking for a RBAC security group called "Help Desk".  To my knowledge, such a group never existed on our domain.  Is there a way to create this group with the correct GUID so that the install will work? 
    Is there another method to repair this group?

  • Install Exchange 2010 Sp3 on Windows 2012 R2

    Dear All,
    From Microsoft Exchange support matrix, I can tell that Exchange 2010 Sp3 is not listed on supported page. However when I run the setup, the prerequisite setup check, dose not list any warnings or issues with the setup, all check are green. Is it possible
    that the support OS matrix has not been updated? Is Exchange 2010 Sp3 supported on Windows 2012 R2?
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/09/17/exchange-support-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
    Thank you

    The prerequisite check is checking that the required Windows components are installed.  Exchange 2010 is still not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.

  • Unable to install rollup4 for Exchange 2010 SP3

    Hi,
    I'm unable to install KB2905616 on my multi-role Exchange 2010 SP3 server. The setup wizard gets stuck at "the setup wizard is generating native images for .NET assemblies........"
    I know that this process will take some time to complete but I have waited 10 hours.
    I've tried to reboot the server and restart the setup.
    Exchange is functioning perfectly otherwise.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
    /Søren Emig

    Hi,
    I recommend you check if the anti-virus has been disabled before you start the upgrade process.
    If you didn't ,the update could fail or take an extended amount of time. 
    Also, disable all other third-party apps/plugins that might be installed (like backup agents).
    In addition,the following articles for your reference:
    Install the Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010
    When you install an update rollup package, Exchange tries to connect to the certificate revocation list (CRL) Web site. Exchange examines the CRL list to verify the code signing certificate. (To download and view the CRL list, see
    CodeSignPCA.crl.) If Exchange can't connect to the CRL Web site, the following symptoms may occur:
    The installation takes a long time to complete.
    You receive the following message during the installation: Creating native images for .Net assemblies
    When Exchange isn't connected to the Internet, each CRL request must complete before the installation can continue.
    To work around this issue and to reduce installation times, turn off the
    Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option on the server that is being upgraded. Use the following steps:
    Start Internet Explorer.
    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Click the Advanced tab, and then locate the Security section.
    Clear the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation check box, and then click
    OK.
    After the update rollup installation is complete, select the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option.
    Generating NGEN images takes longer than expected
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Exchange 2010 SP3 and UR6 Query - Order of Install

    hi,
    I need to update my Exchange 2010 SP2 Servers to SP3 and Update Rollup 6.
    Can someone confirm the update order for me?
    I have 5 servers;
    Live Data Centre:
    2 x HUB / CAB (Using Windows NLB)
    2 x Mailbox (DAG)
    Disaster Recovery:
    1 x Multi-Role Server (CAS / HUB and Mailbox) - this is also Part of the DAG
    Two Questions:
    1.) What is the Order in which I install SP3 on these Servers? Should it be Live Data Centre: HUB / CAS, Mailbox Servers and THEN the Multi-Role Server at DR?
    2.) When Upgrading each server, should I do SP3, reboot, check and THEN install Update Rollup 6 - or should I upgrade all Servers to SP3 and then start the process again to get to Update Rollup 6?
    Thanks in advance for your help with this query.
    Regards,
    Adam

    1) Internet facing CAS first in each AD site. Order: CAS> HUB> UM> MBX
    2) Personally, I would install SP3, reboot, then install SP6, but its really up to you.

  • [SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

    Hi there!
    I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
    I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
    I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
    Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.

    No. It wont let you do that. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638104(v=exchg.141).aspx
    DAGs are available in both Exchange 2010 Standard Edition and Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition. In addition, a DAG can contain a mix of servers running Exchange 2010 Standard Edition and Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition.
    Each member of the DAG must also be running the same operating system. Exchange 2010 is supported on both the Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. All members of a DAG must run either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008
    R2. They can't contain a combination of both Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
    In addition to meeting the prerequisites for installing Exchange 2010, there are operating system requirements that must be met. DAGs use Windows Failover Clustering technology, and as a result, they require the Enterprise version of Windows.

  • 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?

    We planning to upgrade Exchange servers and install Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6, question which I have is it Mandatory to upgrade the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange server version is 11.0.727.0 (Rollup 4) before we install Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 on the
    Exchange servers.

    Thanks Adam for the prompt response and yes I recall these cmdlets to disable and there is a similar cmdlet to enable it. Also after Exchange 2010 SP2 after some RU there is no need to disable FPE before installing RU however it is recommended to disable
    it.
    If you refer the comments section mentioned in the blog below it talks about it:-

    If you read the comment posted by James Knoch posted on this blog which is as below,
    SP3 & the Rollup Updates are not supposed to require you to disable Forefront anymore, but it doesn't hurt to be safe and disable/enable it anyways. Make sure you are running Forefront Rollup 4 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2619883)
    & the latest security update (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41836).
    Above stated confused me a bit, is it mandatory to upgrade Forefront or it is NOT.
    Thanks,
