How to tell which version of Update Rollup you have installed?

As we have released Exchange 2007 SP1 Update Rollup 4 on Microsoft Update two days ago, a question came up: how do you tell which version of the Update Rollup is installed?

The simplest answer is to go to Add or Remove Programs Control Panel applet. Then:

  1. Make sure that "Show updates" checkbox is checked
  2. Click on the Update Rollup that you are trying to figure out version information for
  3. Click on the "Click here for support information" link

The version will be displayed like this:

This applies to pretty much all other updates too, Exchange related or not.

  • This article is helpful, but the first line should be changed. I just got it via RSS feed, and it made me think something happened and Update Rollup 4 was re-released 2 days ago, after I applied it last week!
  • Rollup 4 still does not fix the problem with Transport servers and Entourage clients. When applying any rollup past 2 for sp1 and an entourage client sends a message with an attachment, the application pool running owa nad the legacy excahnge directory will crash and restart.

    This is leaving our front end server unpatched. It was supposed to have been fixed but I am wondering why not.
  • bug:

    - We don't have a flat DNS namespace.
    - Our domain is "DOMAIN" our DNS zone is "domain.local"
    - Each office has it's own sub zone, for example Vancouver is van.domain.local

    When I run the command "new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1" when it gets to the Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity part of the script rather than use DOMAINusername it uses the DNS Suffix of the Exchange server (VAN.DOMAIN.LOCALusername) which of course does not exist.

    As a result I get this error message:

    Could not find or log on with user VAN.DOMAIN.LOCALusername. If this task is being run without credentials, log on as a Domain Administrator, and then run the new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to verify that the user exists on Mailbox server van-mx2.van.domain.local

  • what about us who manage more than 1 server and like to schedule checks or use powershell/vbs. Is there any better way to script the check of what update roll up is installed?
  • That "Nino" and "Scott Roberts (Exchange)" are AWESOME! They seem to know exactly what I need to here.
