Just wanted to follow up regarding the EWS errors we were seeing after installing SP2. It turns out there is a bug related to database names with certain characters (parenthesis in our case) that can cause this. Full discussion of the issue and the workaround can be found at the link below. MS is aware of the issue and plans to address it in the next RU.

If you support Mac clients who use the Outlook EWS clients, you may want to proceed with caution as there doesn't appear to be a fix for whatever the underlying issue is. You can find discussion of the issue here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchange2010/thread/88ddaf28-de7a-4048-af27-4972b11a212a?prof=required. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shawn Beckers Sr. System Administrator College of St. Benedict/St. John's University Collegeville, MN * 320-363-3461 | * sbeck...@csbsju.edu<mailto:sbeck...@csbsju.edu> From: Robert Peterson [mailto:robert.peter...@prin.edu]<mailto:[mailto:robert.peter...@prin.edu]> Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 8:34 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upgrade to Exchange 2010 - SP2 or Not to SP2 I upgraded our Exchange 2010 SP1 last week, all went great, except the redirection for OWA. As mentioned in the SP2 install notes, the upgrade will turn ON SSL, and it suggests, if you need, turning SSL back off by editing the web.config file in the OWA folder. However, I found it was the (Default web site) where I had to turn SSL back off, since our redirection to an HTTPS site starts there. We have an 8 member DAG, 4 CAS/HUB and 4 MB servers... using Drain Stop & Stop on the "MS Load Balanced" CAS servers, along with moving the "active DB" allowed me to upgrade all the servers during the daytime without any of our users knowing it was happening. All turned out great! Robert ________________________________ From: Michael B.

We're upgrading from Ex 2007 to 2010, and were planning to go to SP1, but we're not sure yet....

As SP 2 is now out and has the OWA Cross-Site Silent Redirection I was leaning towards using that instead. Any gasps from the crowd? We have UM here as well but can't see that being any different between SP1 and SP2.
