Exchange Server 2010 SP2-Upgrade

I am currently preparing my SBS 2011 for a migration to Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 installed. On my SBS 2011 I ran the Best Practices Analyzer 1.3 and was informed to upgrade my Exchange 2010 to SP2.
When I run the update, it checks if all requirements are met. For both the Organisation and Mailboxrole it comes up with a "warning" that for my domain, the Recipient Update Service can't be found. It mentions that new and existent users might
not be properly Exchange activated. Nevertheless, I was able to upgrade Exchange without any errors.
Is this warning a problem?

OK - thanks for your reassurance.
I have re-run "Best Practices Analyzer 1.3" and it mentions that "the most recent Update Rollup is not installed". As a resolution is says run Windows update. When I do this, no further updates are found. In the Exchange Management Console
I see that I have Version 14.2 (Build 247.5) installed.
Any ideas?
P.S. I have just seen that there is an Exchange SP3 along with Update Rollup 9... should I update to this? How should I best do this - install 2010SP2RU8, then 2010SP3 and finally 2010SP3UR9?

Update Rollup 6/7 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Our config :
Version 14.2 (Build 247.5)
2 Mailbox servers (DAG), 2 CAS/HUB Servers using a NLB, 2 edge
my question is the following:
can i go directly to rullp 7 without installing 2,4, 5, 6 or I have to install all rollup ?
and what's the bests practices for installing rollup ?

Hello,
You can install rollup 7 directly without installing rollup 2,4, 5, 6.
You should install rollup 7 on your Exchange 2010 server roles in the following order: Client Access/ Hub Transport ,Mailbox and Edge Transport.
Please refer to the following article to install rollup 7 on CAS Array Members. (Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does
not guarantee the accuracy of this information.)
http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-install-updates-on-exchange-server-2010-cas-arrays/
Please refer to the following steps to install rollup 7 on Database Availability Group Members.
=============================================================
1. Run the StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script on the server being updated.
2. Install the update rollup .
3. Run the StopDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script .
4. Re-balance the DAG, as needed .

Exchange Server 2010 SP2 Rollup 8

Hi All,
I currently have MS Exchange 2010 SP2 rollup 4-v2 and I am planning to update to SP2 rollup 8. I have few questions below. My exchange is setup as a two member DAG.
1. Do I need to uninstall any updates before I apply SP2 rollup 8?
2. Microsoft article says that Rollup updates are not shown automatically in windows updates when setup in a DAG. In my case when I go to control panel/windows updates I do see SP2 rollup 8 along with other updates. Does that mean that I can install
from there directly?
3. Is it necessary to put exchange server in maintenance mode when applying rollups OR can I simply run from windows update each server at a time?
Thanks

Hi,
First read this:
End Of Exchange 2010 SP2 Support
1. If you have any interim updates installed, then they must be uninstalled before you can upgrade your Server(s). Since SP2 is no longer supported, you really should be on SP3 by now +
RU5
2. Microsoft article regarding updates to DAG Members is not up to date. Rollups are visible in Microsoft Update and this changed, if I remember correctly, in SP2 RU3 or RU4 which included critical security updates. It is possible to install them from
WU, but you will have better control if you install them manually from an elevated command prompt.
3. Not necessary but its recommended, especially on DAG Members.
I know that the Exchange 2010 Forum can be a bit hard to find, but here you have the link to it if you have other questions regarding that version
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?forum=exchange2010 . The topic here is Exchange 2013.

Can anyone help me how resolve this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Henry,
Even we can’t see /OWA virtual directory in IIS manager, still doesn’t mean it not exists. The IIS configuration files are located in ApplicationHost.config. This file is located in %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config.
Found the below entry even with no owa vdir in IIS manager, remove the entries below and try upgrade again. (Note: Before you modify ApplicationHost.config, please take a backup first.)
<application path="/owa" applicationPool="MSExchangeOWAAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\owa" />
</application>
If the issue still occurs, please do not hesitate to post back.
Best regards,
Eric

IOS 5.1.1 and MS Exchange server 2010 SP2 Rollup 2 compatibility

Hello to the community,
Microsoft Exchange Server updated to a new version 2010 SP2 Rollup 2 so I would like to know if iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) is fully compatible with it. We run the 2010 SP1 Rollup 5 of MS Exchange Server.
Thanks in advance.

That is not how i read your problem. It sounded like propagating to Exchange was fine, but changes from Exchange did not get updated in Unity Connection right away. My symptoms were that the voicemail message arrived in Outlook immediately. If I read it or deleted from the phone, then Outlook reflected that right away too. But if I read it or deleted it in Outlook, it took awhile for the phone MWI to go off. In fact, when I just read it, I'm not sure it ever went off, but when I deleted it, it eventually went off.
We have our voice servers (including Unity Connection), sitting behind Cisco ASA firewalls. We allow all traffic outbound from the voice servers, but restrict it coming inbound. I have a server group for the Exchange servers that allows any port through. I did not remember to add the new Exchange 2010 servers to this group. TCP port 7080 appears to be the only port used. I do not know how the voicemail eventually got deleted in Unity before, unless it eventually came from one of the Exchange 2007 servers. But I definitely saw port 7080 getting blocked, and once we opened it up, the updates from Exchange to Unity happened within seconds.

Error Install Update Rollup 3 Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Hy Guys,
I have the follow troubble when i try install the Update Rollup 3 Exchange 2010 SP2 on CAS Server. The error is "The user who's currently logged on doesn't have sufficient permissions to install this package. You need at least Exchange Server Administrator
permissions on the current computer to complete the task."
I've checked the permissions of the user which run the installer and those permissiones are OK. The user belong to Domain Admin, Enterprise Admin, Exchange Organization Management groups.
I don't know what else to do. Thanks for your great help.

Hi Wilmar
Do you have PowerShell execution policy via Group Policy that could be blocking the install? If you right click the file and select "Run as Administrator"?
Can you try running the setup from an elevated command prompt?
Or you can enable logging by executing the patch like this below:
Rollup3.msp /lxv* c:\Rollup3.log

How to install Exchange Server 2010 with the name of my existing Domain Controller.

I have my Primary domain Controller as abc.com in 2008 r2 standard. abc.com is registered. I want to set up Fresh Exchange Server 2010 sp2 with the name of the same
abc.com domain name. Please guide me the steps how to do that. Waiting for your kind response. :)

Hi,
From you description, you want to install an Exchange server 2010 in the abc.com. When you set up your Exchange, Exchange need to join in a domain. You just need to specify the domain to abc.com.

Exchange Server 2010 Outlook Client Stops Responding

Greetings- This issue is with Exchange Server 2010 sp2 using Outlook 2013 clients in AD environment. Single server, single database (80GB) , 60+ users, Windows 8/8.1 workstations.
All of a sudden our users started experiencing issues yesterday. One or two at first, then more.
The issue where Outlook stops responding. This is most noticeable when you try to send and receive. The recipient will get the email before outlook clears it from pending submissions in the outbox.
1. SMTP is fully operational
2. Push clients functions normally
3. Exchange is fully updated and current
4. The mailbox databases are verified and healthy
5. Network traffic to and from the server appears normal according to wire shark
6. Setting Outlook to use no cache connection mitigates the issue partially
7. The issue is global on all deployed OS's
As this is happening on many, maybe all, workstations, my thought is that is has to do with Exchange, not the client.
Thanx
You should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about. -Willy Wonka

Does this happen all day, or at specific times? I'll add that your server appears to be light on CPU, but without knowing its CPU profile (when idle and when under a load), I can't say for sure this is your issue. One additional thing I can
ask - do you have hyperthreading enabled? This can be a bad thing in an Exchange server. See the following:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd346699%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#Hyper and the following:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/06/ask-the-perf-guy-sizing-exchange-2013-deployments.aspx Note that this second note is about Exchange 2013, but it goes into more details on some of the issues that may be adversely affecting your
Exchange 2010 servers.

Exchange Server 2010 - Authentication fails with DC

I have implemented Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory on Server: DC1
I have Implemented Exchange Server 2010 SP2 on Server: EMLSERVER
Previously MDeamon 5.5 was using for Messaging Services.
Manager told me he want only email server to be available after office hours.
For Exchange Server 2010 we have to power on two servers AD and EXCH.
For This reason i install AD on Exchange Server 2010 and Transfer all Roles from DC1 to EMLSERVER.
Now EMLSERVER is our AD and EXCH, and DC1 is our ADC.
To check this configuration i power off current ADC old DC (DC1).
when i try to test OWA, it was not working, and i get HTTP 500 Error, i try to troubleshoot it and finally after enabling Form Based Authentication Service HTTP 500 error has been resolved and i get OWA Page there when i try to Authenticate with Username
and Password i have got HTTP 400 error and i am sucked now.
Can anyone suggest what should i do now.

The Requirement is that I have to provide a solution that is equivalent to MDeamon 5.5, where Company have just one DC which is use for authentication and group policy on Windows and another server which is MDeamon email server.
After office hours they power off DC and just email server is power on.
Therefore new solution must fulfill the same requirement, and in this scenario I have to put DC and Email together so that there is no power overhead.
1- Yes new DC which is together with Exchange is Global Catalog.
2- All Microsoft Exchange services are running.
3- There is no smart card authentication, there is just User/Pass require to authenticate.
4- Old DC/ Current ADC has been powered off after verifying transfer of all AD roles.
5- Previously I have installed DC on DC1 server and Exchange 2010 on EMLSERVER and it was working fine.

Hi,
If you run Get-OrganizationConfig | fl Name,objectversion in your DR-Site, what is the version number you see?
If its not 14247, the schema has not been upgraded.
/Hosting is not supported with SP2, so you need to leave that out.

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.

Step by step upgrading exchange server 2010 standard to enterprise edition

step by step upgrading process exchange server 2010 standard to enterprise edition

Exchange standard and Enterprise edition have the same ISO image. it's just the license that you have to enter and corresponding features will be enabled. If you are planning to upgrade existing Exchange 2010 Standard to Exchange 2010 Enterprise then simply
apply the licenses of Enterprise edition. But if you want to upgrade to Exchange 2013 enterprise then install exchange 2013 in your environment and apply Exchange 2013 Enterprise edition licenses. Hope this answer your query. Thanks.
Kindly mark this as answer if found helpful. Thanks.

Exchange Server 2010 with SP3 Management Tools

Recently I have installed brand new Exchange Server 2010 with SP1 in my test domain. Afterwards I upgraded it to Exchange Server 2010 with SP3. On client machine (Windows 7 Pro with SP1 x64) I run setup.exe for Exchange Server 2010 with SP1 installation
DVD to install Management Tools. All checks passed successfully but after installation was completed there was an error in EMC:
The World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) isn't running on any Exchange servers in the site. If you want to connect to Remote Powershell, this service must be running. Make sure that the W3SVC is running on at least one Exchange server.
Of course service is running. I read this has something to do with different versions of Exchange Server itself and Management Tools. Since there is no installation of Exchange Server 2010 with SP3 how to solve this? I assume if I have installation of Exchange
Server 2010 with slipstreamed Service Pack 3, management tools installed from this installation would work.
Also does this mean that, if I have working tools for Exchange Server and SP for it is installed later, tools will stop functioning?

I would install SP3 on all servers and workstation as SP1 and SP2 aren't supported anymore and see how it is behaving...

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
