I wanted to post a quick post about the rollup 6 that was released last week, as there seems to be some misunderstanding about what it applies to:

  • Rollup 6 is for machines running Exchange 2007 Release to Manufacturing (RTM) version.
  • Rollup 6 is therefore not for machines running Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

To explain this further: Exchange 2007 SP1 includes all of the fixes that were included in first 5 rollups for Exchange 2007 RTM. As rollup 6 was being worked on during the time that Exchange 2007 SP1 was being finalized, the fixes that are in rollup 6 for RTM are not in Exchange 2007 SP1. However, there will be a post SP1 rollup released for Exchange 2007 SP1 machines which will give you the fixes that rollup 6 for RTM has. Stay tuned for that, you will read about it on this blog.

    That's just stupid.
    You can't install rollup 6 on an SP1 box but there will be a rollup for SP1 boxes that has the fixes that are in rollup 6.
    On planet earth we call that rollup, err, hang on, I have it, errrrr, 7

    Get a damn grip will you. Don't you think you've made enough mess with Exchange 2007 already without further complicating matters?

    To clarify, I currently have my Exchange system running 2007 RTM. What I want to know is if I install Rollup 6 now and then in about a month try to install SP1, is it going to ...
    a) tell me I have Rollup 6 (or at least identify the current Exchange version is not acceptable for upgrading) and stop me installing SP1 until I remove Rollup 6.
    b) not complain at all and upgrade without any issues
    c) not complain at all but completely mess up my servers
    d) something else
    Hence why I asked whether I should install Rollup 6 or forget about it.

    Clarification on the question 'Should Ex2k7 Update Rollup 6 be installed on a Server with Ex2k7 SP1?' has been offered by Nino Bilic of the Exchange Team.

    I'm looking to install SP1 at the end of this month/beginning of next - Will installing Rollup 6 cause me problems when I come to do this? Should I just ignore it for now and wait until my servers are at SP1 for an SP1 rollup?

    Very confusing.  You all should have released this all at once.  Not only is it confusing, but now there are publicized problems that people can start working on exploiting E2k7 SP1 with.
