RE: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 patching in a DAG
That was easy - took about 25 minutes. Thanks again everyone.

Will let you know how it goes. @Robert - yup, I wonder why that is? Kerberos issue? For CAS, I'm planning on removing the servers from the load balancing applicance for a couple of days before patching to minimise any disruption.

+4 (mailbox servers) Dunno about anyone else but some of the boxes were painfully slow to download the updates but maybe that's just us. 6 CAS VM's and four physical HT/MBX servers).

RE: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 patching in a DAG
That's how I've been doing for 6 months or so, in fact the last few times I did all the updates during daylight hours! Exchange 2010 DAG includes... (4)CAS/HUB VMs and (4)MB VMs, (4)Hyper-V hosts The only issues I have seen... A few Outlook 2007 clients will lose authentication and be prompted for credentials when I reboot a single CAS server. Sometimes I have a Smartphone lose sync and the account has to be deleted and re-added on the phone.
