Upgrade Windows 2008 R2 sp1 on an Exchange 2010 SP3 server

I have looked high and low for an answer to this question:
1. I have Windows 2008 R2 running Exchange 2010 SP3
2. Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?
3. Are there pre-requisites for doing this?
4. If so, where can I get the documentation?
I have spent hours looking through Google and Technet. Lots of information about compatibility of 2008 R2 and Exchange SP1 and SP2.
Your wisdom and experience would be appreciated. Thank you!!
Charlie

Hi,
"Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?"
Yes, you can.
"Are there pre-requisites for doing this?"
There is no pre-requisites, however, as what Idan Vexler mentioned above, downtime is required.
"If so, where can I get the documentation?"
Here are two related threads for your reference.

LSASS.exe utilizing 3 GB of RAM on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 - MS Dynamics AX 2012 application server (it's not a DC)

Hi guys,
Does anyone know why would lsass.exe be using 3 GB of RAM on an application server with 8 GB of RAM in total running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1? Is this something I should log with Microsoft support?
Thanks
Zoran

Hi we experienced the same issue. but im not able to reproduce it on the second server.
We got two member servers both in the same configuration Windows 2008R2 SP1 STD hosting Axapta AOS. the first server is experiencing the Lssas memory leak (we got a little bit more memory then you but it consumes 5,6GB form 6GB
total RAM) the second one not. both servers are VM hosted on hyper-v 2012 cluster. the only difference betwean them is instaled Avast Antivirus, but we have a testing environment (single VM server with identical deployment with Avast also installed) and
it does not seems that the Avast is the cause.
can anybody please point us how to troubleshoot lsass memory leaks on member servers not DCs, becouse the event logs does not show anything interesting about the couse, but are full of errors about what i see as consequences of low memory condition.
Thanks in advance Martin Stejskal

Exchange 2013 Sp1 Coexistence with Exchange 2010 SP3 CU5 HTTP 500

I`m trying to make working OWA coexistence between Exchange 2013 SP1 and Exchange 2010 SP3 CU5.
When user login in to OWA where his mailbox is located on Exchange 2013 server it logon successful and owa opened. When i try to login to the same url with user whose mailbox is located on Exchange 2010 server i get Error http 50
The website cannot display the page : HTTP 500 »https://URLEXCHANGE2013/owa/auth.owa«
The same is, when i use https:// URLEXCHANGE2013/ecp?ExchClientVer=14
URL on Exchange 2013 are different as fro Exchange 2010.
I even tried to setup Internal URL for Exchange 2010 to bi set to »null ,Saem error
Exchange server 2013 Sp1 is installed on Windows server 2012 R2.

Assumption is correct. I have even enable verbose logging, and i can see MSExchange Front End HTTP Proxy , that successfully connect to Exchange 2010 server.
But remember Exchange 2013 is fresh installation on Windows server 2012 R2.

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.

Exchange 2010 SP3 outlook prompot password for linked mailbox

Hi All,
I have forest A and forest B, there is an Exchange 2010 SP3 server in forest A, linked mailboxes are created for user inside forest B. Trust relationship can be verified , in place and active. Suddenly , some linked mailbox user got outlook password prompt

Step 1: Close Outlook program and create backup of PST file
Step 2: Now run SCANPST.EXE on copy of your PST and repair
SCANPST.EXE is found in these locations according to different Outlook versions:
In MS Outlook 2002/XP: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MAPI\ \scanpst.exe
In MS Outlook 2000:C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MAPI\ \NT\scanpst.exe
In MS Outlook 97/98:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Windows Messaging\scanpst.exe
Note: Do not use backup option in SCANPST.EXE as you working with a duplicate copy of PST
file.
Step 3: Then open the command prompt by clicking Start >> Run
Step 4: Paste or type the file path to PST19UP and your PST name: PSTUPG19.EXE-filename.pst
and press Enter.
Step 5: The command line will resemble: “C:\My Documents\pst19upg.exe”- Outlook.pst.
Step 6: A new copy of the PST file will be created, which is called “filename.psx”.
Step 7: Once you have completed, rename the original PST file.
Step 8: Now at the Command Prompt, type “pst19upg.exe- filename.psx” and press Enter
Step 9: A new password-free PST file will be created from PSX file.
Step 10: Now open your MS Outlook program and open the PST file.

Exchange 2010 SP3 - Delete messages in a folder

Hi
We have an Exchange 2010 SP3 server. One user has a folder ("Inbox\Firewall Alerts") containing about 300,000 messages.
How can I use PS to delete all messages older than 10 days in this folder?
Best regards Harald

Hi,
You can create a personal tag and apply it to this custom folder named "Firewall Alerts" under the Inbox folder. This personal tag will overwrite the DPT or RPT applied to this folder or items in it.
If these messages have the same subject or sender, you can also consider to use the Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery -DeleteContent command to delete these mails older than 10 days. But there is a limit, it's 10000 at a time if a search query is specified when
you run this command.

Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Witness/Quorom Server Placement with 3 Datacenters

Hi we have 2 Exchange 2010 SP3 Server in the same Organization in a DAG
First one in Datacenter 1 in Germany
Second one in Datacenter 2 in Austria
There is a Third Datacenter available in Switzerland
Where should we place the Witness Server?
Our major concern is not a WAN Link will go down, most time a Datacenter will loose Power for some hours due
maintenance work or other things.
Is it a good idea to place the Witness Server in the third Datacenter!?
We found a Document which some missconception which talks about placing the witness always in
the primary Datacenter. But the Datacenter Switchover Document for Exchange 2013 says use a third Datacenter.
Is that also okay for Exchange 2010 or are they totally different?
Thank you in advance
Troga

Hi,
It is a new configuration option in Exchange 2013 that we use a third location for hosting the witness server.
Placing FSW in the third location will privide the ability automatically failover databases to the other datacenter in response to a datacenter-level failure event.
For more details, you can look at the "Witness server placement considerations" section in the following article.

Force email download in HTML or text format on iPhone/iPad with ActiveSync (Exchange 2010 SP3)

Hi,
When an HTML email with attachment is received on iPhone/iPad (iOS 8.2),
it can be downloaded in three cases of
intermittents ways :
- The full message is downloaded in HTML format
- The message is download in text format and a
"Download full message" link is displayed
at the bottom of the message
- The message is displayed in text format,
but continues to download the rest of the message.
When the download is complete, the message is displayed
in HTML format.
This behavior is intermittent. The Apple's support
says it is a particular configuration on Exchange server
that causes this behavior.
I want to know if there is a way to fix
this problem and force download email
either in text or HTML format ?
This problem occurs on iPhones/iPad
(iOS8.2) with ActiveSync account (Exchange 2010
SP3). It occurs also with Outlook.com account.
On the Exchange 2010 SP3 server, The MaxEmailBodyTruncationSize
and MaxEmailHTMLBodyTruncationSize settings are
unlimited in ActiveSync policies.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
We can configure Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy Properties to force device download HTML or text format email.
Use the EMC to view or configure Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policy by the following steps:
In the console tree, navigate to Organization Configuration >
Client Access.
In the result pane, click the Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policies tab, and then select the policy you want to view or configure.
In the action pane, click Properties.
Under the Sync Settings tab, check or uncheck the box
Allow HTML-formatted e-mail. Select this check box to enable e-mail messages that are formatted in HTML to be synchronized to the mobile phone. If this check box isn't selected, all e-mail messages will be converted to plain text before synchronization.
And use this command to configure whether allow text messaging on the mobile phone. The Exchange Enterprise Client Access License is required to change the values of this setting.
Set-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -Identity PolicyName –AllowTextMessaging $True

Does Outlook "Connection Status" Show Rollup Updates on Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi all,
I've looked for this answer everywhere, and can't seem to find it. When you CTRL right-click on the Outlook taskbar icon, and select "Connection Status", one of the pieces of information displayed is the Version number of the connected Exchange
server.
Does this build number include installed rollup updates, or does it show only the installed Service Pack. For example, if it's an Exchange 2010 SP3 server with RU6 installed, will I see 14.3.195.1
or just 14.3.123.4 (the SP3 build number)? I'm trying to use this information to troubleshoot
client issues, and it'd be helpful to quickly see if certain updates are installed on the Exchange server or not.
Thanks!

Hi,
Just as what mentioned above, connection status displays the Exchange version number.
Start Outlook and connect to the Exchange server if this isn’t done automatically already.
Hold CTRL while clicking on the Outlook icon in the Notification Area
(located in the right bottom area near the time; expand the Notification Area first if the Outlook icon does not show).
From the context menu that pops-up choose: Connection Status…
Scroll the horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the Version column.
(if the dialog is empty, then you are not connected to Exchange)
Here you’ll see a version number.
Best regards,

Applying Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on Exchange 2010 SP2 servers

Hi All,
Our current setup is Primary Site and DR site with a DAG.
Primary site is having 2 Mailbox servers, 2 hubcas servers with an NLB and one CAS server for OWA.
DR Site is having 1 mailbox server, one hubcas server and one CAS server. All these exchange servers are SP2 with update roll up5.
But the OS is Windows 2008 R2, need to apply Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on these servers, and what are things to be considered.
Does this affect CAS servers IIS?
Thanks,
Kanishka.

Agreed. One thing to mention - Win 2008 R2 needed SP1 a while back, no security updates have been released for a while.
Exchange 2010 SP2 goes out of support next month. please plan to update to SP3 for Exchange 2010.

The details for that, and a link to the lifecycle page are in the above post.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Exchange DAG event 1196 and 1579 Bad DNS Key

Hi,
I'm running an Exchange 2010 SP1 DAG on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. We are using an INFOBLOX appliance for DNS resolution.
DNS resolution is working and SRV records are created.
On one of the two clusternodes I get warning 1579 and error 1196 every 15 minutes. After looking around on the internet and technet, I found kb 977158 stating the problem and resolution. However this hotfix is not applicabel on Windows
2008 R2 SP1 .
How can I resolve these annoying events?
Event 1196 failoverClustering:
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
DNS bad key.
Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server.
Event 1579 Failover Clustering
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed to update the DNS record for name 'DAG.domain.local' over adapter 'NIC1-LAN'. The error code was 'DNS bad key. (9017)'. Ensure that a DNS server is accessible from this cluster node and contact your DNS
server administrator to verify the cluster identity can update the DNS record 'DAG.domain.local'.
Frederik

Cause:
The cluster name resource which has been added to the DNS prior to setup active passive cluster ( or any type) need to be updated by the Physical nodes on behalf of the resource record itself. When the active node owns the resources it want to update the
A record in the DNS database and DNS record which was created won’t allow any authenticated user to update the DNS record with the same owner
Solution:
Delete the existing A record for the cluster name and re-create it and make sure select the box says “Allow any authenticated user to update DNS record with the same owner name “Don’t worry about breaking anything , this has “ZERO”
impact to cluster simply delete the A record and re-create as it is suggested here.

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...

Static DNS record deleted automatically- Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I have scoured the Interweb and tried all suggestions to no avail for this one. Here's the scenario:
My client has a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows 2003 domain/forest functional level) server which is a DC and DNS server. The problem is that a DNS record for an Exchange 2010 server is getting deleted every 10 or 40 minutes. This started occurring for no obvious
reason a few weeks ago. The impact is that users cannot connect to Exchange (caching does not seem to help with this, which is odd). I disabled scavenging, which did not resolve the issue. I enabled auditing and found a 4662 event revealing that the domain
administrator account was deleting the server A record (and pointer record). Why this is happening is what I am trying to investigate next: possible bug? The zone is configured as non secure- maybe making it securing it would help? But this does not explain
why the record is being deleted. There is no NIC teaming implemented, which I understand can cause issues.
As an interim measure I created a script employing dnscmd that recreates the record every 15 minutes, which works for the most part, but not always, which is why I added a deny permission on the record for the domain Administrators group, seems so far to
have prevented the record from being deleted.
Any advise on the cause of this and how to investigate why the record is being deleted will be much appreciated!

Hi- thanks for that. However I have seen those links and already followed them: I turned off scavenging (default 7 day configuration) and the record still gets deleted (scavenging date is not due till a later data in any case). Also the record is static
so it would not get scavenged? The option to delete the record if stale is unchecked.
I already enabled auditing and identified event 4662, which identified that the domain administrator account that is deleting the record:

Hyper-v for windows 2008 r2 sp1

i have windows 2008 r2 sp1 foundation. i thought if i download and install the hyperv from the microsoft download site, it might make my server on par with the features of the windows 2008 r2 standard version, but i might be wrong, because it apparently
does not let me upgrade during setup but force me to do clean install. which implies that i might be overwriting my whole server with just a hyper v functionality and nothing else, am i correct? i dont want that. i want the whole server functionality like
iis sharepoint etc. if i dont have hyper v, i can live with having vmware player.

Hi Lenny,
Please ensure that the downloaded server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard not core or other edition .
Also please refer to following article :
