Microsoft Updates messed up my SBS server

Hi everyone, this is more of a general question, because I already took care of the problem but I wanted to know if anyone experienced this or fixed it the correct way.
So our SBS 2008 server runs the normal stuff for our business ie. Exchange, AD, DHCP, DNS etc. and everything was running fine until last night when we installed the updates for December.  All of a sudden, Outlook clients could not connect
to the Exchange server, so this morning I started to troubleshoot and found that people also could not connect via RDP to the terminal server.  We were getting errors about Outlook not being able to open the information store and Exchange server unavailable
and so on.  So after some poking around I found that it could be related to DNS, so I opened the DNS console and sure enough the whole DNS role was gone, no server, no zones, no anything, so I guess my question is two fold, first did this happen to anyone
else and how did you fix it, I myself rolled back to my VMware snapshot, but lost all emails from last night until today?  And second are there any best practices for updating the SBS server like shutting down certain services before the update, I ask
because in the old environment that I worked in we had to shut down Lotus Notes services before installing any updates.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I have not seen any other reports regarding this.  One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to reboot the server and test for normality _before_ installing updates so it can be said after that the condition was caused by the updates and not by
the restart.
With your permission I can give your case to one of our fellow MVPs who follows such events more closely than I do.  It would be helpful to know if there were any errors in the logs before or after the updates were applied and exactly what updates were
applied.

  • Enable Microsoft Update (not just Windows Update) for Windows 2008 R2

    I am running Windows 2008 R2 in my Citrix XenApp 6.5 farm.
    Office 2013 is installed.
    I can't update Office via Windows Update. Why? Take a look at this ridiculous roundabout tautology it takes me through.
    Here I am in the Windows Update panel:
    If I click "Find out more" to get updates for other Microsoft Updates it takes me here:
    Yeah, duh, I was just in there when I clicked the link to get to this site. What's the deal?
    How does one enable all Microsoft Updates for a Windows 2008 server. I can do this in 2003 easily by going to the Microsoft Update website. 2008 however, this appears to be impossible and apparently no one else in the world has noticed this.

    these discussions should help:

    after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

    I've had a similar problem.  On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4,  Firefox would not open.  Crashed every time.  Safari was not affected.  I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago. 
    Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

  • Problems with Microsoft.Update.Session on Windows Server 2012R2

    Hi, I've created a script for collecting Windows Update information using the "Microsoft.Update.Session" comObject.
    I got some problems collecting data from certain servers, but I don't understand what can be wrong.
    In this example I got "DC1" and "DC2", where DC1 is a Windows 2012R2 Core, and DC2 is a Windows 2008R2. Both has installed updates previously.
    The problem is that the Microsoft.Update.Session won't return the installed updates from "DC1", using the identical commands as on "DC2".
    Commands used in this example:
    $updateSession = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
    $Searcher = $updateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
    $PendingUpdates = $Searcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0")
    $PendingUpdates = $PendingUpdates.Updates
    $Installed = $Searcher.QueryHistory(0,1) | select -ExpandProperty Date
    Output from session DC1:

    Anyone got an idea of what might be wrong?
    Thanks!

    Hi Objectclass,
    The updates you query from DC1 (Windows Server core 2012 r2) is different from DC2 (Windows Server 2008 R2), because firstly these two servers have different operating system versions so they apply different updates, and DC1 also have less updates than DC2
    because of server core edition.
    Fewer installed features means fewer features to patch and maintain, Server Core has been available since Windows Server 2008, and historically we've noted as much as 35-45% fewer patches needed on Server Core installations.

    We have uninstalled and reinstalled the SUP but the problem still persist, SCCM2012 keeps configuring the WSUS to talk to the upstream server, this resulted in we are unable to get the latest Endpoint definition updates to distribute to client computers.
    Please advise, thank you

    It sounds that you've been in the WSUS console before and configured it that way, but I'm only guessing here. In your case I'd uninstall the SUP and then remove the WSUS role from the server. Re-add the WSUS role and only perform the initial configuration.
    Then install the SUP again and configure it from the ConfigMgr console only.

  • Why can't I delete mail or move mail to a folder. This started after mail host microsoft update to their exchange server

    We recently moved our mail from an in-house server to an outside hosting service. It was working well until we returned after Christmas. The mail host explained that they had received a Microsoft update to their hosting servers. Now we get an "ERROR 12" code and cannot delete mail or move mail on any of the IMAP folders. I tested the theory on Outlook and the mail deleted fine and was able to move to folders and it synchronized without issue. How can we fix this on Thunderbird?

    Outlook connects to the server using emapi Thunderbird uses imap. So a comparison is nothing more than a waste, or did you explicitly set up an imap account in Outlook?
    Please create an IMAP log https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging
    I did find an [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741374 old bug] that indicates fasthost had incorrectly configured servers (is that your provider?) with a workaround.
    It is difficult to diagnose exchange imap issues because they do not use any of the standard error codes or messages. But a log should at least provide information on the command the server does not like and that makes a good starting point.

  • Microsoft Update server list

    Hi All,
    As per our organization policy, we have to only the access from our WSUS server to Microsoft Update servers. I need a list of IP address/segment pool of Microsoft Update servers over Internet. Our firewall only supports IP addresses/ports as the criterion.
    Our firewall DO NOT support any FQDN/URL/wildcard. Could you help me please?
    Thanks,
    高麻雀

    Hi Milos,
    Thanks for your quick reply. We can try my best to check the IP addresses of the FQDNs frequently. However, the prerequisite is I know the FQDNs. But from the information you shared to me, I can see there are wildcards in the URLs. In this case,
    how can I check the IP addresses of these FQDNs (I don't think network monitor is a good solution)? Or can I understand that package filtering based firewall (IP address/port based firewall) does not support Microsoft Update server list? And we also have
    to change our firewall to support URL with wildcards? But how to deal with the HTTPS URLs which are encrypted by SSL? Or we have to violate our policy to enable the full Internet access for our WSUS server?
    Thanks,

  • Update Rollup 7 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3 (KB2961522)

    This rollups will not install and has caused multiple issues on the Windows SBS 2011.
    The issues are as follows:
    All Exchange and related services were stopped and had to be manually restarted.
    The update fails for multiple reasons, changes every time.
    I am no longer able to perform ANY updates without some sort of error code.
    All Domain client computers now report Security Status as Critical, Servers as not available.
    DNS does not appear to be properly, many internet requests from domain PC's stop with "Fix connection problems" error page.
    Running BPA shows no major issues
    I can no longer run the WSUS server cleanup. I get a Connection Error and have to reset the node, but it soon fails again.
    Shared folders may take quite a bit of time to open.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have an open ticket with Microsoft and although this is rated critical I am not getting any resolution. The only thing that MS support managed to do was bring the server down for an additional day and corrupt my
    EDB files so that they had to be rebuilt. 

    Hi,
    à
    All Exchange and related services were stopped and had to be manually restarted.
    While the update was installed, it will automatically stop Exchange and IIS services. You may need to restart
    manually.
    àThe update fails
    for multiple reasons, changes every time.
    à
    I am no longer able to perform ANY updates without some sort of error code.
    Would you please let me know any of those
    update-failed reasons? Meanwhile, please let me know some error code that you can get when can’t perform updates. Meanwhile, please refer to installation suggestions and tips in following article when install this update rollup.

  • Server 2012 R2 cannot update from 2008 R2 WSUS server

    Our WSUS server is on a 2008 R2 VM.  Updates for all 2008 R2 and lower servers, and Windows 7 clients work fine.  I have one Server 2012 R2 in production and it cannot check for updates.  It gets 800b0001 as the error code.  I can
    click on check for updates from Microsoft, then it does reach out to the Internet, download and install updates.
    I also tried from my Win 8.1 laptop and I get error 8024402C.  Any idea's?

    I found in another thread the fix.
    In regedit go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup and change "wYukonInstalled"
    from a 1 to a 0.
    Installer succeeds.
    However now the Update Services console does not work.  I get a connection error.  
    It's one thing after another with these things.  I don't understand why Microsoft can't ever make something simple.  IISReset did not cure this either.
    The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.
    Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server. If the problem persists, try restarting IIS, SQL, and the Update Services Service.
    The WSUS administration console has encountered an unexpected error. This may be a transient error; try restarting the administration console. If this error persists,
    Try removing the persisted preferences for the console by deleting the wsus file under %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\.

  • Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

    Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
    My question is at the end.
    Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial  version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
    Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
    1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
    2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
    3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
    4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like  it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that  simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves  95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
    5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting,  etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a  post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able  to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the  coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand.  (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very  valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
    6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
    7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
    8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
    9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
    10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
    11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
    12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
    13. Bingo! That install works.
    14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
    15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security  patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file  adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that  mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
    16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
    17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
       before
         lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
       after
         lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
    (that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
    Save the file.
    18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
    Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is  no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS  update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
    And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the  version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version,  not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
    On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
    And finally my
    ** QUESTION **
    Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same  (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this,  but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older  version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use  the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the  directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my  limitied java skill set, to make this decision. 
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi Byron,
    Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
    So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
    Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
    Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
    Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
    #java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
    Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
    java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
    Note  there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to  point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program  Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
    Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
    HTH, Carl.

  • Window SBS server 2008 and window server 2008 R2 on the same domain

    Hi all,
    I am a person only work for linux system. Recently i work for my company that using microsoft technologie. So i have a lot of trouble. Could you please help me and below are my big troble that i have met:
    In my system, i have the first window SBS server 2008 run on our domain. However my organization growth up and we have more than 150 users and mailbox of exchange server 2007. So i do not want to use my sbs server 2008 anymore.
    I am going to install a window server 2008 R2 64 bit and join it into the same domain with sbs server 2008. It will be replicate the username, dns, OU and group policy...After that i will tranfer FSMO role to new server and i will demote then remove the
    sbs server.
    My boss say that i should not use this solution because window server sbs can not run with any other kinds of window server 2008 (R2, standard, enterprise...) and it will automatically shutdown the main server after a couple of days.
    Someone have experience can help me. I am so confuse now

    Maybe this will also help to better understand the steps involved:

    Migrating from SBS 2008 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (NOT Essentials and with NO Exchange)

    And remember, as long as you don't move the PDC to one of the new DCs, you can leave the SBS 2008 up indefinitely. But I would remove Exchange 2007 off it right away once I've migrated the mailboxes and public folders, otherwise
    you will get yourself into an Exchange coexistence scenario which is much more complex to configure and support because of the CAS differences, changing the URLs on the old one to "legacy.domain.com," getting a new UC/SAN cert with the correct
    names on it, and more. Believe me, you really don't want to coexist them. The only time I've coexisted Exchange versions is during large migrations, such as 500 or more. Otherwise, I just migrate the mailboxes over a weekend and get it done with.

    Hi,
    Could you type “route print“ on CMD, and post the result here?
    It would be helpful if you may describe the phenomenon of the problem? such as changes before the problem occurs, any prompt error message, related operations except for these logged Event ID.
    You may reference the link below for reference.

    Thanks Eve! I appreciate your attempt to help. I inadvertently posted my reply for the Route table without quoting you first. Sorry about that.
    As far as the problems go, time to logon to server > 5 minutes. Group Policy issues abound. DNS issues (as mentioned). Thought I had an easy one for you. Sorry about that.
    I have one client computer running Windows 7x64 (call it My Workstation) that I back the server and other client PC's up to. The clients have no problem, but after a day or two, the server can no longer "see" the My Workstation and the backup fails.
    But then when I reboot the My Workstation, the server "sees" it again!
    Furthermore, I backup a 10TB RAID 6 array on
    My Workstation to yet another client for redundancy (Call it WORKSTATION2-PC), but if I try to click on the computer icon in Windows Explorer for WORKSTATION2-PC, I get the error "Windows cannot access \\WORKSTATION2-PC. However if I type in
    the ip address or WORKSTATION2-PC, I have no problems.

  • Migrate SBS Server 2008 with Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

    I have looked at the documentation to co exist 2007 and 2013.  However I am concerned as it talks about changing the dns name to something like legacy, as the dns name that is used for outlook to connect is the name of the server.  So here
    is my question.  Would I have to change the name of the actual server itself?  and if I choose not to, and use a new name for the 2013 server, such as mail, would the users that get migrated, would they automatically update the
    name change?  Also note the SBS server with exchange 2007 is also their file server at present but will be changing.    

    Hi ,
    Thank you for posting your question in the forum.
    I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.
