Upgrade Exchange 2010 from SP2 to SP3 RU4

Hi All,
We are planning to upgarde Exchange 2010 SP2 servers with stretched dag across 2 AD sites to SP3 RU4.
I have few questions.
1. We are planning to Upgrade HUB/CAS servers in both the sites in first week.
2. Then we are planning to upgrade mailbox servers in the next week in both sites.
3.
Do you think this is a good approach. Can some one please share best pratices document as we are using F5 load balancing.

Hi,
Vishwanath's suggestions are pretty helpful. Besides that, we should make sure that the update process should be managed to prevent all of the DAG members from being offline at the same time.
Here is an article about how to install Update Rollups on Database Availability Group Members for your reference.

How to upgrade Exchange 2007 from Sp1 to SP3 RU13

Hi everyone, I have a mail system Exchange 2007 SP1 CAS and HUB with 3 servers.
The mailboxes are on a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster.
Domain controllers are Windows Server 2003 SP2
I have to update the mail system with Service Pack 3 and RU13.
Does anyone can tell me the procedure? where I have to start by the CAS / HUB or cluster mailboxes?
How do I update the cluster of mailboxes, the resources on the active node and update it, or liability?
There's something I have to take intoaccount before upgrading?
I can upgrade directly to SP3? or I have to upgrade before SP2? thank you very much

Weblogic 6.1 server upgrade from SP2 to SP3

Hi All
We have weblogic server 6.1 SP2 installed on the solaris machine. Now we
have to upgrade our weblogic server 6.1 SP3. We also have downloaded the installable.
But that installable seems to over-write the previous weblogic server & installs
the server afresh. Is there any patch kinda thing available which allows me to
upgrade from SP2 to SP3 ? I don't want a fresh new install of SP3 server.
thanks in advance
-Kiran Rane

Upgrade installer from SP2 to SP3 is only available for paid BEA
customers. You need a login at http://support.bea.com

Monitoring Exchange 2010 from external network

I would like to monitoring the following services pf Exchange 2010 from external network / internet
1) SMTP (To confirm the mail has been accepted for delivery)
2) ActiveSynch (Mobile device can login and synch different folders)
3) WebApp (Users can log and access mail)
I have created a script using test-Mailflow, test-activesynchconnectivity and Test-WebServicesConnectivity and running it on server from LAN. I want to monitor the above 3 areas from Internet(external network) to make sure these services are available
from Internet.
We have Barracuda as SMTP gateway, TMG for WebApp and MobileIron for ActiveSynch.
Will i be able to monitor these services from external network(internet) using test commands. What are the alternate ways to monitor the above services from external network.
Thanks

We are trying to build exactly similar to ExRCA. ExRCA is good but it is manual. We would like to build something similar to ExRCA which can monitor exchange services periodically and send alerts.

Upgrade Exchange 2010 SP2 to SP3 getting fail

I have already run the prepare schema, prepare and domain prep in all domains and it got replicated in DR Domain controllers.

Hi,
Schema updates should be done on a schema master or on a DC in the same AD site as the schema master. Once extended, the updates will replicated via AD replication. To narrow down the issue, I recommend you check if there is any event related to replication
on domain controller holding schema master role.
Is the schema master role in the same site as the Exchange server which you want to upgrade? If not, you can try to transfer FSMO role to a domain controller which is in the site where you want to install Exchange 2010 SP3 and then upgrade to check the result.

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
Sameer

As 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

Cannot upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 Management Tools to SP2 on Win 8.1 workstation

I have a Win 8.1 workstation that I am trying to update the Exchange Management tools on from 2010 SP1 to SP2. I get an error that says:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); &RoleBinPath\ServiceControl.ps1 EnableServices Critical" was run: "AuthorizationManager check failed.".
The WMI service is being disabled and not starting back up after, causing the error. I have tried the following:
-Confirmed that the ExecutionPolicy is set to undefined/unrestricted for the localmachine
-Confirmed no GPO exists in our domain to restrict this
Every single time I run the install the WMI service switches to disabled and the localmachine Execution Policy is switched to RemoteSigned.
I have tried the Google search steps except for the Setup /M:Recoverserver since I really don't know what that would do to our Exchange environment. I have seen some posts that the Exchange 2010 MGMT tools are not supported on Win 8, which I find hard to
believe. I get no unsupported error just this incredibly frustrating error.
Any ideas?

What you are doing is totally unsupported:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
By the way, Exchange 2010 sp1 and SP2 are no longer supported, the minimum supported is SP3.

Workaround instead of Upgrading Exchange 2010 Severs to SP3

Hi
I have a customer in an exchange 2010 environment who has 4 exchange servers in place with DAG and NLB setup. We plan to go ahead with a Hybrid setup however just need to clarify if there is any workaround that we could apply instead of having to upgrade
there exchange server to 2010 SP3?
Thanks & Regards
Aaqib

Hi,
I notice that you want to deploy hybrid environment, and don’t upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP3.
Depending on the Microsoft document, Exchange 2010 SP3 support hybrid deployment with Exchange 2013 CU1 or later version, however Exchange 2010 SP1 and SP2 are not supported.
More details about Hybrid deployment prerequisites, for your reference:

Coexistence & Upgrade Exchange 2010 SP3 Unified Messaging to Exchange 2013 SP1 UM

Hello Experts,
We're doing Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 upgrade.
This upgrade also include Unified Messaging component which is currently working with Exchange 2010 SP3 and Lync 2013.
We have one dial plan and its SIP URI and Secured.
Looking for high level steps to plan coexistence and upgrade of Unified Messaging from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 integrated with Lync 2013. I'll also appreciate tips on what kind of certificate and its Subject name(s).
Microsoft documentation is not very clear and I found it confusing for my scenario. Since I we don't want any downtime for UM users, looking for some help.
Thanks in advance for help.
-DK

Hello Hinte,
Thanks for the information. I have been to this article which explains fresh deployment but doesn't address coexistence and migration scenario.
I'm looking for high level steps only. Can anyone validate and suggest if I'm missing something!
1) Install new CAS+MBX Server
2) Move system mailbox as per MS documentation to Exchange 2013 MBX
3) On CAS+MBX Server Enabled internal CA trusted Cert for UM Services.Internal
CA certs contain only CAS+MBX server's FQDN only.UM services Startup Mode is set to "Dual".
4) Assigned existing SIP URI Based Exchange 2010 Dial plan to New Exchange 2013 Servers.
5) Run Exchucutil.ps1
in Exchange 2013 and OcsUMUtil in Lync 2013 (Again?)
Will this be enough or Do I need to create New Auto attendant or
Haunt Group etc?
Thanks for all the help!

Need to Upgrade Sharepoint 2010 to SP2- advise!

Hello All,
I do not work on SharePoint services much, basic operations only. I am entitled to upgrade the SP application and backend SQL in order to make it compatible with our Backup Solution (Symantec Backup Exec 2014).
We got 2 servers, one is running the SharePoint 2010 application (v 14.0.5136.5002), and another is running the MS SQL Server (SQL V10.0.2531.0) for database.
We want to upgrade 1) SP from v 14.0.5136.5002 into Service Pack 2 (14.0.7015.1000)
2) SQL from (SQL V10.0.2531.0) into SP3 (10.0.5500.0).
I am referring to following threads for version sequence and downloads, apparently correct and helpful-
SP: http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=224
SQL: http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/
My question is, 1) while upgrading which one to go first - Sharepoint App server or SQL server? What's the best Sequence?
2) Can I upgrade SP and SQL from current version to the mentioned version, by directly downloading and
installing those versions? Or I have to deploy any hotfixes/patches prior to that release from the current one?
Thanks for any advises.
Insaf Muhammed

HI Muhammad,There is no Sequence for SQL,SP.we can do first SQL and next SP.please find the details below for Sp-Sp2 and SQL.You can find all the latest updates and patches in Cumulative update in post categories.

Anil Avula[MCP,MCSE,MCSA,MCTS,MCITP,MCSM] See Me At: http://expertsharepoint.blogspot.de/
Thank you very much Mr. Anil for the advise and SP link!
Great article for SP SP2 upgrade with screenshots. So as I understand I can go ahead and install SQL SP3 and SP SP2 downloads on top of current releases I have and everything should be OK!
I couldn't see the SQL SP3 deployment part around, could you post if you got one?
Thanks a lot :)

Install or not install - exchange 2010 update rollup 4 sp3

Hi guys!
We have Exchange2010 SP3 with update rollup 2.
Users with IE11 are having problems with OWA opening only in light mode. I have read on the internet that CU 4 solves this problem but on the other hand this CU makes additional problems with outlook 2007 clients.
Some of the comments of this issues from other companies are: In Outlook 2007 if you choose to change the current view with Arrange By 'Categories' the following is noticed: - Items that you set unread or read are not changed until you refresh the view
- If you open an unread email by doubleclicking, it's status stays unread until you refresh the view. - New mail items are not automatically seen until refresh. This is a very annoying issue, and our servicedesk already received a lot of calls for this issue
Is there any workaround to fix IE11 OWA light mode and not corrupt Outlook 2007 user clients?
bostjanc

It happens as MSIE token is removed from the user-agent string in IE11. This made the Exchange team provide an update on the Exchange side to fix this issue. The workaround is to use Compatibility Mode in IE11 for OWA. As for the fixes:
2003: Use workaround, no fix will be released
2007: Use workaround until a fix is released, currently a fix is tentatively planned for release in E2007 SP3 RU12
2010: Install
E2010 SP3 RU3 or use workaround
2013: Install
E2013 CU3 or use workaround
O365: Issue is already fixed, no action is required
Thanks,

Significant performance reduction from SP2 to SP3

We have noticed a significant increase in CPU utilization when going from weblogic
6.1 SP2 to SP3. In our testbed we noticed a CPU increase of more than 10% with
all other factors equal.
Have anyone else noticed a similar performance degration when shifting service
packs?

Unfortunately, yes.
In the effort of gaining every little bit of performance out of available resources,
we decided to test upgrading the service packs of WLS 6.1 sp1 and WLP (portal)
4.0 sp1 to sp3 and sp2, respectively.
We also saw roughly 10% performance degradation. So we stayed with sp1/sp1.
