Issue while installing Exchange 2010 SP3 in SBS 2011

I tried installing the SP3 on my SBS 2011 box but it asked for a Hotfix from KB2550886 to be installed. When I tried to install the Hotfix it said that it does not apply to my SBS 2011 box and did not install. However I went ahead with the installation
of SP3 but it stopped just before the final action. Thereafter I was unable to access my Exchange and in services the Microsoft Exchange Transport service kept on stopping despite starting it manually. Spent more than a day trying
to resolve the issue but when nothing came forward I had to rebuild my server (you may disagree with this step but I had no other solution) over the weekend.
I tried installing the SP3 but again it asked for the Hotfix. I have not proceeded with the installation of SP3 but have installed the SP 2 which I had preserved.
MS Exchange Best Practices Analyzer shows "Exchange store does not start". However when I follow the information in KB285116 I observe that everything is in order.
I would like to know the experience of other persons in this forum before I start the installation of SP3 once again.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
After stopping the AV program services I tried installing but landed with the following problem:
Connecting to "SERVER.domain.local"
Logging in as current user using SSPI
Importing directory from file "C:\Windows\Temp\ExchangeSetup\Setup\Data\PostExchange2003_schema0.ldf"
Loading entries

Add error on entry starting on line 1: Operations Error
The server side error is: 0x21a2 The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner.
The extended server error is:

0 entries modified successfully.
An error has occurred in the program
I tried the solution as provided in
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/de047852-fa94-4327-b518-94d6b25b1101/schema-error but did not succeed.
I am wondering whether to leave the thing as it is.

  • Problems with OWA after installing Exchange 2010 SP3

    Hi,
    I just installed Exchange 2010 SP3 on a SBS 2011 machine. The installation completed successfully, but after the installation OWA isn't working anymore. When I browse to OWA I get the following message:

    Hi Alelieveld,
    When you reset a virtual directory, the virtual directory is removed and a new virtual directory with default settings is created.
    After you reset the VD, did you restart IIS?
    For more information, please see:

  • 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.

  • Exchange 2010 SP3 - RU3 RU4 Public Folders issues ( not refreshing ) when grouping by Categories for "(None)" Group

    After installing Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3, I had an issue in Public Folders, once having group by categories in Outlook, the Group of "(None)" categories is not refreshing when changing flag... I also installed RU4 but nothing changed, any reason
    Thx

    Hi,
    From your description, the group with none categories won’t fresh when changing flag in Category view. If I misunderstood, please point it out.
    As you can in the View tab as below, there is Category as well as Flag: Start date or Due Date. It means that grouping per color categories is more or less different from that
    grouping by flag.
    Should you need more assistance, feel free to tell me.

  • 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,

  • Exchange 2010 SP3 UR9 OWA users cannot open mail items

    We recently had users reporting unable to open items in OWA.  Issue is confirmed across all CAS servers.
    Issue started while on Exchange 2010 SP3 UR8v2, we upgraded to Exchange Server 2010 SP3 UR9 during troubleshooting.
    3 AD Site DAG, multi-role servers
    So far we have done the following to troubleshoot:
    * Check security propagation for account permissions.
    * Check security on all virtual directories.
    * Check permissions on web.config
    * Re-run PrepareAD
    * Uninstall and reinstall CAS role
    Please review the errors below and let me know if you have any words of wisdom on this issue.  Thanks!

    Hi Noel,
    Base on my search, it may be due to IRM feature been enabled for OWA.
    I recommend you use the following command to check if the value of IRMEnabled parameter is true:
    Get-OWAVirtualDirectory – Identity “servername\owa (default web site)” |FL name,IRMEnabled
    If the value is true, you can use "Set-OWAVirtualDirectory" cmdlt to change it to false, and check if any helps.

  • 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 SP3 Rollup Update 6

    Our Exchange environment is currently on Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3 and the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange server version is 11.0.713.0 (Rollup 3). 
    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,
    AJ

    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:-
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/05/27/released-update-rollup-6-for-exchange-2010-service-pack-3.aspx
    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,
    AJ

  • Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 Migration from SBS 2011

    Server UpgradeI'm migrating an SBS 2011 server to a new machine with Server 2012 R2 and a Hyper-V server running Exchange 2013. I've set up the new machine, all is running well in a test environment. I now want to migrate the old server to new. These are the steps I'm going to take and I wanted advice for any modifications or errors. 1. Demote DC on Server 2012 that I set up to test. 2. Join new Server 2012 to existing SBS 2011 domain. 3. Promote Server 2012 to DC. 4. Join the Hyper-V Server 2012 to the Server 2012 domain.5. Migrate Exchange 2010 on the SBS 2011 Server to Exchange 2013. 6. Transfer FSMO role from SBS 2011 Server to Server 2012 DC. I'll copy shared data files using robocopy.The only things I'm not sure about is the FSMO order, when to do that and the fact that I already have Exchange 2013 installed in the test...

    I recently acquired a SuperMicro chassis that has a SAS2 expander backplane. It has SFF-8087 ports on it.http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/BPN-SAS2-846EL.pdfI made a post on another forum and someone mentioned that the card couldn't be used with that backplane since it's a SATA controller, however, the backplane is both SAS and SATA device compliant, it's only the RAID controller, as far as I know, that is a "SATA II" controller, and not a SAS controller.So, I couldn't find anything in the official documentation of this controller on whether or not it was able to control SAS devices. The card itself has a 3 SFF-8087 ports though, couldn't this theoretically still be used with a SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cable(seen below)since the backplane is a SAS/SATA backplane?...

    Any hints? Please advise.
    With best regards
    bostjanc

    Hi Bostjan,
    From the error message, the issue might be caused by throttling policy on Exchange side. And the article you posted provides the right solution, some modification to the solution and please try again.
    For throttling policy part
    1.Execute the command for Set-ThrottlingPolicy
    Set-ThrottlingPolicy SharePoint -RCAMaxConcurrency Unlimited -EWSMaxConcurrency Unlimited -EWSMaxSubscriptions Unlimited -CPAMaxConcurrency Unlimited -EwsCutoffBalance Unlimited -EwsMaxBurst Unlimited -EwsRechargeRate Unlimited
    2.Execute the command Get-ThrottlingPolicy SharePoint to double confirm the policy setting has been successfully executed
    For registry key part
    1. Start Registry Editor (regedit).
    2. Navigate to the following registry subkey:
    \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem
    3. Right-click ParametersSystem, point to New, and then click Key.
    A new key is created in the console tree.
    4. Rename the key MaxObjsPerMapiSession, and then press Enter.
    5. Right-click MaxObjsPerMapiSession, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
    The new value is created in the result pane.
    6. Rename the key to <Object_type>, where <Object_type> is the name of the registry object type that you're modifying. For example, to modify the number of messages that can be opened, use objtMessage. Press Enter.
    7. Right-click the newly created key, and then click Modify.
    8. In the Value data box, type the number of objects that you want to limit this entry to, and then click OK. For example, type 350 to increase the value for the object.
    9. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.
    If it still doesn’t help, please check ULS log for related error message.

  • 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.

    Only generic cluster events in Mailbox servers.
    Observation:
    Its only become stabe if we remove the msExchFileShareWitness Value for DAG1 using ADSIEdit.
    And the problem recurs if we set it back again.
    Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Belinda,
    Thanks! I have checked the Mailbox Server Application Log and found few 2155 Event Id generated at the time of the issue occured.
    Process Microsoft.Exchange.ServiceHost.exe () (PID=9312). Configuration object CN=DAG1,CN=Database Availability Groups,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=xxxxxx,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=com
    read from DCTDK35.mydomain.com failed validation. DataValidationException will be thrown. Set event logging level for Validation category to Expert to get additional events about each failure.
    One update is that the DAG is stable now after we set an alternate FSW last night.
    Regarding the 2nd IP assignment for DAG for the 2nd subnet, we have gone through technet and other sites which refering to add the same from EMC or EMS.
    Is it sufficinet to simply adding the 2nd IP to DAG from EMC or EMS? Or do we need to take any other special consideration.
    Also, adding another IP it will create one more IP address resource to Failover Cluster, but I belive at a time both the IP wont be online. Do we need to keep it offline manually or its automatically taken care by Exchange.
    Please suggest.
    Also, regarding executing the CollectOverMetrics.ps1 we are following
    http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2010/monitoring-operations/monitor-dag-database-failover.html
    but failed to execute. Can you suggest the correct parameter.
    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

  • Is WMF3 or WMF4 supported in Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5 installed on Server 2008 R2 SP1?

    We'd like to upgrade WMF (aka powershell) on our Exchange 2010 servers but I haven't been able to find any updated information on support with the most recent servicepack/update rollup.
    Is installing WMF3 or WMF4 supported on Server 2008 R2 SP1 w/ Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5?

    WindowsPowerShell 3.0 is supported. Haven't seen 4.0 running for exchange 2010 on 2008 R2

    Gulab,
    Where did you read that WMF3 is supported on Exchange 2010 SP3 on Server 2008 R2?
    Neither of the links you pasted suggest that and in fact explicitly say "There has been no testing with ExchangeServer 2010 SP3 and WMF 3.0 installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."
    My Bad, that was TYPO...
