Update Rollup 5 for Exchange 2007 SP1 (announced a few days ago) has been released. The rollup is available on the Download Center here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=652ED33A-11A1-459C-8FFE-90B9CBFE7903&displaylang=en The rollup will go live on Microsoft Update in 2-3 weeks from now (will be announced here). Localized versions for all supported languages are now available on Download Center. KB 953467 has more details about this release and the included fixes. We specifically want to call out two fixes related to the overall installation experience: 1) Service startup issue described in KB 944752 and a previous blog post.

  • The rollup installer will now make the required modifications to the config files, even create new config files if not found. If customers have already modified the config files and have a generatePublisherEvidence setting, it will be left intact. Note that you still need the right version of .NET (see KB 944752) for the fix to take effect.
  • Uninstalling the rollup will not rollback the addition of generatePublisherEvidence to config files.
2) Blank OWA logon page after installation of rollups 3 and 4, if you have modified logon.aspx file
  • The rollup installer will now overwrite any OWA script files if required to ensure proper operation of OWA. You will need to redo any customization after installation of the rollup.

    I hate to sound like a broken record but I see not specific mention of fixing the Entourage issue and app pool crashing. Is this being or has it been addressed as we are now 3 rollups out of date on our production server due to this issue.

    I have already had a case opened about this when I was dealing with the OWAappPool crashing due to entourage and noted this install failure on RU4 with my engineer. Honestly right now unless I see adverse effects I don't have time to open another case and waste more premiere hours on the phone with someone from India. If you would like my msi installer logs feel free to contact me at dasgooch@gmail.com

    I've applied RU5 to an 2 CAS/HT, 1 SCC Mbx Cluster environment, and am still having the issue with OAB being unable to generate on shared disk.  I just get the 9334 and 9109 errors and had to reinstate Mike Shen's fix in http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3686285&SiteID=17

    Anyone else have the same experience?  I did repoint the oabdropfolder location back the shared drive location and reset the permissions before giving up.  The folder icon whould change, but the system just could not create the subfolder with the oab files.

    Andy and Rob,

    If you had a failed install (that "ended prematurely" - please open a support case so we can figure what is going on. We have not seen this yet that I am aware of...

    Same issue as rob gooch - exchange setup ends prematurely. NO errors in the event logs and NO files created in c:exchangesetuplogs so I'm not sure what else to look for.

    RE: "Rollup installer will now overwrite any OWA script files"

    Chad,

    The OWA ASPX files are tied to the companion OWA DLL file. If the OWA DLL file needs to be updated in the system for any reason, all the OWA ASPX files will also be overwritten to ensure proper operation of OWA.

    If your Outlook Web Access (OWA) customization only changes the graphics on the logon page as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201700.aspx, you should be fine. If you have edited the logon.aspx file or any other OWA file in the system, it will get overwritten.

    As a best practice I would always recommend a backup of any OWA customizations made to the server.

    So I am not sure why this keeps happening but when I install an RU it goes through the install and at the end it says it ended prematurely. After a reboot Programs reports that the update is installed successfully and the dll's i have spot checked have the new file versions. This same behavior happened in RU 4 also. Is this happening to anyone else?

    Will all rollup's be released to MS Download 2-3 weeks before MS Update?  I am asking because of the issue with rollup 4.  I would prefer rollup's were not automatically installed by MS update, but having the patch released on MS Download weeks before MS update is at least a step in the right direction.

    "The rollup installer will now overwrite any OWA script files..." I'll test this next week in my lab but, does this include replacing any customized login pages?
