Just tried to install CU5 on our Exchange 2013 SP1 MailboxCAS server and ran into an error message on the installer, 5/29/2014. I installed Exchange 2013 to start testing on last Sunday 5/25/2014 which was successful.
The only thing different about today is that the Schema FSMO role was on DC01 (see below) during the initial installation and then moved back to its originating DC named DC02. I hard coded a healthy domain controller on the MailboxCAS server using Exchange's
Powershell Console. I also made sure that the MailboxCAS's Windows OS could only see the healthy DC as well. Here is the error message we are receiving, see below. Can someone please assist?
