Re: Installing RU5 on new Exch 2010 environment

We use Windows NLB (for now) and I don't want to do anything that would affect all users.

RE: Installing RU5 on new Exch 2010 environment
I'd remove the servers from the load balancing solution during a quiet time to limit the amount of clients - and therefore potential helpdesk calls - that will fail over if the CAS they're connected to disappears from under their feet. I normally do this the night before. Also, if you have applied any custom OWA graphics etc, you'll need to re-apply those after the RU has completed. Otherwise, no special instructions. Just press next, accept, next , finish :) Richard From: bounce-9452860-8066...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com [mailto:bounce-9452860-8066...@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] On Behalf Of Brian McGloin Sent: 01 November 2011 13:55 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Installing RU5 on new Exch 2010 environment We're installing this roll up in a new environment tonight.

Re: Installing RU5 on new Exch 2010 environment
That looks pretty good. We're not production on Exchange yet, so I just patched one at a time and rebooted. Thanks for the article, I will definitely stash that away or future reference.

RE: Installing RU5 on new Exch 2010 environment
One thing which can catch the unwary. The proper way to apply the Exchange 2010 SP1 rollups is to open a command prompt with elevated Administrator rights and run the rollup update from there.
