Need to update Exchange 2010 to SP1 from base
I need to update my base install of Exchange 2010 to SP1 and eventually SP2. This sits on a 2008 R2 server. in reading other upgrade articles, there are references to needing hotfixes at the server level - 2008 R2. There are about 5 hot fixes referenced
to upgrade to SP1 and I would assume there are a few others for the update to SP2.
Currently the 2008 R2 server is patched via Windows update through February 2014 (including SP1 for the server). Given that, can I assume that the hot fix updates have been incorporated into other updates/patches along the way for the Windows 2008 R2
server? Or do i still have to install each of those hotfixes manually?
Also, in one of the patches, it spoke of needing, or using .net framework 2.0 and 3.51. currently my system has 4.5.1 on it. do i need 2.0 and 3.51 for SP1 to be installed and work correctly?
thanks

Hi Dave,
I recommend you install Exchange 2010 SP3 directly. There is no need to upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP1 and then to SP2.
Service Packs are cumulative, Exchange 2010 SP3 include all fixes included in previous RUs and service packs. Here is a blog for your reference.
Released: Exchange Server 2010 SP3
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/02/12/released-exchange-server-2010-sp3.aspx
Since Windows updated through February 2014, you don't need to install each of those hotfixes manually.
Besides, I would like to verify if you download .net framework 4.5.1 from website. There is no need to install it that way. You just need to open Server Manager, add .Net Framework 3.5.1 feature.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,
Amy

Updating exchange 2010 accounts after provisioning
Hi Guys,
I am looking for the information on modifying exchange 2010 accounts information once we provisioined an exchange 2010 account.
For example, renaming the mailbox in exchange2010 when there is a change in the lastname like that. All of the "UPDATED" tasks
were given as "Required for completion". So, did not understand how the "UPDATED" tasks will work.
Will exchange 2010 support email attribute as multi-valued?
And how the move mailbox will work? Please provide some information.
Thanks for your help.In exchange connector, all of the UPDATED tasks were given as required for completion. I believe required for completion will needed only for create user task not for all of the updated tasks.It depends on the requirement. Generally we make these task as Required for Completion only.
If I want to update exchange 2010 mailbox, I just need to update mail atribute in AD. Is that correct?Right now, I am not sure which attribute we have to modify for renaming mailbox and whether it is supported with OOTB connector or not.
If not then you need to extend the connector functionality but I have seen couple of threads on Google which talks about Renaming Mailbox in Exchange.
And
So, did not understand how the "UPDATED" tasks will work.SO I have given you link that how OIM triggers UPDATED task in any Process Defn.
Required for Completion means: Whether task should be completed for completing the process/operation or not. It is nothing to do with UPDATED Task trigger. -
How to get Exchange 2010 Product Keys from an existing installed servers
hi All,
we are facing some kind of critical issues. we had 3 MB servers . the two servers are in DAG all our productions DB's running in DAG. the DAG servers are crashed due to hardware issues. one server is acting as archival server. all servers are running exchange
2010 sp3.
now we are trying to rebuild new servers to restore DB's. the new servers is prompting the product key to be entered. unfortunately we don't have product keys of exchange 2010. since we are gold partner we have partner network portal. when i tried to get
the product key from portal am able to see only 2013 keys. we called up Microsoft and explained but no use. they said we have to use exchange 2013. but we cant simply go ahead and migrate.
but the only option is we have exchange 2010 installed servers they all act as CAS/HUB server with the same licence. please let me know how do i retrieve exchange 2010 product keys from an existing servers. Please advise me its very critical.
can we get the product keys through some kind of scripts?
Thanks, Venkatesh. "Hardwork Never Fails"Hi,
For this issue, I recommend you contact Microsoft customer service to consult this question. Thanks for your understanding.

Update Exchange 2010 from 14.1.218.15 to SP2
HI All,
We are using Exchange server 2010, it is recently deployed in the production environment, I want to know what is the process to apply patches and SP update on exchange server.
As we are running exchange 2010 SP1 14.1.218.15 and should I apply SP 2 diretly on it or I have to apply from
Update Rollup 1 to Update Rollup 7-v3 for Exchange Server 2010 SP1
first and then apply SP2,
Your suggestions are required.
Regards
SameerAs lynn said you don't need to apply RU's as you can directly install the latest service pack.
Please note that Support for SP1 & SP2 (Exchange 2010) is ended and hence i recommend you to upgrade to SP3.
You should upgrade your Exchange 2010 server roles in the following order:
Client Access
Hub Transport
Unified Messaging
Mailbox
Edge Transport
Also, while patching CAS Servers, Internet Facing CAS Servers should have to be patched first. In case if you have CAS Servers in CAS Array then you will have to remove the CAS Server from the array while patching and should add CAS Server back to CAS Array
after patching/reboot.
For more information about patching/upgrading exchange you can refer: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/bb629560(v=exchg.141).aspx

Updating Exchange 2010 SP2 to SP3
Hi,
I'm trying to migrate our Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 to different server but first I need to update it. I managed to update from SP1 to SP2 without any major problems but now I'm trying to update form SP2 to SP3.

I have tried couple of times and rebooted the server without success. Any help?

Hi,
I'm going to install Sp3 on my Exchange 2010 server today. I've already done the install on my test system and it went fine.
I have a question though. I am running a DAG. The docs I find online all say to move the databases to another node when running the update. Is this solely to keep users up and running or is it necessary to to in order for the upgrade to run properly.
I ran the upgrade on TEST without moving databases around and it seems to have worked fine (only a few users on my TEST system though).
Thanks,
NachtIf you are running a DAG, your databases would automatically fail over when the system is rebooted. However, if you don't want any surprises, it's common practice to move everything over prior to the patching, then move back afterward. Here's a typical patching
process:
Mailbox Server patching procedures (patch DR Servers first, then Mailbox Servers last):
Install update on DR servers and reboot
On the A node in the primary site, open EMS and run this command to check the status of indexes:
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Fl name, contentindexstate
It should look like this for all databases:
Name
: DB01\ServerA
ContentIndexState : Healthy
If the content index state is not healthy, run this command for each database that isn't healthy:
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy "DB01\ServerA" -CatalogOnly
Repeat this check on the B node for the primary site, and if all is healthy, proceed to next step
On the A node in the primary site, open EMS and move active mailbox databases to the B node:
Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase -Server ServerA -ActivateOnServer ServerB -MountDialOverride:none -confirm:$false
Refresh EMC and select each DB moved, then check copy status, copy queue length and replay queue length (everything should be healthy or mounted and all queues should be at
zero)
Once databases are verified running on the B node, install patch/update on A node and reboot
Check event logs and services on the A node once it's back online
On the B node, open EMS and move all databases from B to A
Open or Refresh EMC and select each DB moved, then check copy status and queues
Once databases are verified running on the A node, install patch/update on the B node and reboot
Check event logs and services on the B node once it's back online
On the A node, open EMS and browse to
D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts> and run this script to automatically put all databases on A node that have an activation preference of 1 on that server and leave all databases
on the B node that have an activation preference of 1 for that node
.\RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1 -DagName DAG1 -BalanceDbsByActivationPreference -confirm:$false
Check Failover Cluster Manager:
On one of the mailbox servers, go to Start > Failover Cluster Manager, expand the DAG, then click on DAG1.contoso.local
Current Host Server (which server holds the Primary Active Manager role) should be either the A or B node. If it is the DR node, run the following command from an elevated command prompt:
cluster.exe DAG1.contoso.local group “Cluster Group” /moveto:ServerA (or ServerB) -
Exchange 2010- I have current setup of hosted Exchange 2010 without SP1 installed.
I manually used AD to manipulate the hosted tenants security settings, so that databases cant see each other on the same box, I'm not sure if upgrading to Exchange 2010 sp1 will cause an issue with my current setup?
Afraid to pull the trigger.......What if you run into any issue Exchange 2010 without any service pack? RTM version, SP1 and SP2 are not supported anymore so you need to go to at least SP3 to be on supported version...

Can't Restore Exchange 2010 Mailbox DB from HP Data Protector backup
I'm trying to implement Exchange 2010, but I won't feel comfortable moving many users to it until I've successfully restored a mail database from tape backup. So far, this hasn't worked out so well. I'm using HP Data Protector for my backup solution.
Here's what I've done:
1. In DP's "Restore" GUI, navigated down to the MS Volume Shadow Copy Writers entry, then selected both "Files" and "Logs" from the DB's entry under Microsoft Information Store. I'm not restoring any of the other Writers. So that I don't have to take down Exchange, I'm restoring them to a temporary restore location.
2. After the restore completes, I go to the temporary restore location on the server and run eseutil /mh on the database, which returns a "Dirty Shutdown" db status.
3. Since I have the log files, I attempt to repair using eseutil /r E01 in the log files' path. This generates "Operation terminated with error -1216 (JET_errAttachedDatabaseMismatch, An outstanding database attachment has been detected at the start or end of recovery, but database is missing or does not match attachment info) after 10.608 seconds."
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong with this recovery? If my steps are incorrect I'd love to know, as HP's documentation for restoring Exchange 2010 is very young and not terribly useful. My ultimate goal is to be able to restore a database from DP's tapes and bring it back online on the Exchange 2010 server.
Thanks!
Thanks!Hi Ben,
We backup our primary database (Ex Writer) and always with full backup (DB+LOGS). When we restore we restore to alternate location, then manualy copy db file and everything from restored log directory to one folder (for example: d:\restore_DB1). At this
stage DB is in dirty shutdown state. Then we run (in folder where we copied db file and log files)
Eseutil.exe /R E00 /D
it takes a couple of seconds (160GB file) and the db is in clean shutdown state. Then we do:
New-MailboxDatabase -Name “Restored DB” -Server MBOX1 -EDBFilePath “D:\Restore_DB1\DB1.edb”
-Logfolderpath “D:\Restore_DB1” -Recovery
and
Mount-Database “Restored DB”
now we can restore single mailbox or even single item from mailbox with:
1: whole mailbox with overite the destination
Restore-Mailbox –Identity “USERNAME” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB”
2. whole mailbox to alternate location (new folder in another mailbox)
Restore-Mailbox –Identity “EXISTING MAILBOX TO RESOTRE TO” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB” –RecoveryMailbox “MAILBOX DO BE RESTORED
FROM BACKUP” –TargetFolder “NEW FOLDER IN EXISTING MAILBOX”
3. the same as 2 but single item with MEETING in email subject
Restore-Mailbox –Identity “EXISTING MAILBOX TO RESOTRE TO” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB” –RecoveryMailbox “MAILBOX DO BE RESTORED
FROM BACKUP” -SubjectKeywords "MEETING" –TargetFolder “NEW FOLDER IN EXISTING MAILBOX”

Exchange 2010 - Bounce backs from unknown accounts
Hi There,
I am running exchange 2010 and i had a " Catch all " mailbox setup so any email sent to *@domain.com would get caught in this mailbox using a policy even if the account did not exist. I went to remove the " catch all " mailbox
as it was no longer needed but if someone external was to email " [email protected] " or spelt a users name wrong the external user will not receive a bounce back telling them that the address is invalid.
Any ideas?

Update Exchange 2010 - Things to Consider?
I also like to run BPA and check the event logs and system resources before installing any Exchange updates. If the VM has been up for a while, give it a reboot first. I usually check the release notes too: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3049853
We haven't updated our exchange 2010 server in a long time.
In the Update queue is 'Update Rollup 10 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3'
Anything to consider or watch out for before pulling the trigger?
It's running on Server 2012 standard as a VM.
Thanks for all input!

Need to update information to our WebDB from our ERP DB
Hi All,
We need to be able to udpate information from our oracle eBusiness ERP system out to our Web Store DB (Both Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 DBs). The data we are trying to sync is inventory, pricing, product data, etc. The issue is that some of the data (inventory primarily) has to come from some complex views that contain function/procedure calls to get at actual quantity (available to reserve). So I believe a materialized view is out.
I was just wondeirng how others would approach this problem? I could bulk collect the deltas and use forall to udpate....write to a temp table, etc? Any thoughts?
Any ideas/suggestions are very much appreciated.
SThe only way a view is kept up to date is by making changes to the table(s) on which it is built.
There is nothing you have stated, so far, that rules in or out materialized views.
I just read your newest and original post and there is wholly insufficient information, no DDL, no DML, to really understand your issue.
Please provide an example (code) of what you are asking about. No matter how good Oracle technology ... it still doesn't let us see
your monitor. <g> -
Need help with Exchange 2010 Spam filter setting
Hello,
In Exchange 2010 there is built-in anti spam setting as well as Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server. But this doesn't give privileges to the end user who could access it using any web URL where they could set whitelist/blacklist etc.
Is there any product in Forefront which we can use for such purpose ?
Also in Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server if Content Filtering is enable then it reject all emails which have html tag, even if sender have html base signature. This is really confusing any solution for this problem too ?
thanksHello,
In my case, I have mostly seen FPE reject messages as spam when there is alink to say "click here to access <bank web site> and the underlying link is actually to an IP address or to another site that does not match what the link claims to be.
We have also seen FPE reject messages with an image that is a clickable link.

Updating Exchange 2010 SP2 to SP3UR9
Dear Experts,
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 it mentions that "the most recent Update Rollup is not installed". In the Exchange
Management Console I see that I have Version 14.2 (Build 247.5) installed.
I have seen that there is an Exchange SP3 along with Update Rollup 9 available. I have installed all Windows Updates - no Exchange rollups were installed. Should I update to 2010SP3UR9? How do I best perform this update - install 2010SP2RU8, then 2010SP3
and finally 2010SP3UR9?
Thanks for your help.You have to upgrade to 2010 SP3 first, then upgrade to the latest RU after that.
I would also ask in the SBS forums as sometimes there are special considerations around upgrades.

Need to update remote trail file seqno from source
Experts,
i need to change the remote trail file seqno to different no other than 0 from the source side.
i tried delete rmtrail and add with like below
add rmttrail /opt/app/pdfdfs/ggs/trails/rddf1dfd/rg, extract ext, seqno 4670
seems like it is not working and trying to read from 0 itself. as i dont have access to target db i cannot alter the replicat there. please suggestHi,
I think you are trying to add the rmttrail with a different seqno than 0.
By default when the the rmttrail is been added like below and started
add rmttrail /opt/app/pdfdfs/ggs/trails/rddf1dfd/rg, extract ext
In the target it will start creating files like rg000000
In your case, you are trying to get it created with a different number.
Let's assume that you have trail files till rg000014 and so you want the new trail file to be created as rg000015
if so then you could use the following command
add rmttrail /opt/app/pdfdfs/ggs/trails/rddf1dfd/rg, extract ext, seqno 15, rba 0
This will help to create files with sequence rg000015.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
