This is a heads up that Update Rollup 6 for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 should be out on Tuesday February 10, 2009. As you can see the rollup release date coincides with the day Microsoft issues security patches. No points for guessing that this rollup contains a fix for a security issue. This patch has been assigned a severity rating of critical in Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for February 2009. As such customers should plan to apply this update rollup to ensure their Exchange Servers are protected.

In addition to the security issues, we have included a change which will allow Internet Explorer 8 to be used for Outlook Web Access 2007. However, this does not include the Outlook Web Access 2007 S/MIME control. We are still working on some changes in the control to make it work better with Internet Explorer 8. Look for an updated version of the S/MIME control in a future rollup.

  • For those of us who have interim updates applied to fix a specific issue, will we be able to see a list of fixes in RU6 any time soon?

    The process of obtaining an updated interim update for a new Update Rollup sucks.
  • Hi, is this Update Rollup just going to be security fixes? There are a heap of issues I am waiting for fixes for so Im hoping security is just one of the areas for improvement in this update.
  • Just wondering if the account with which the Exchange Server 2007 was originally installed is still needed? Or is an account with Exchange Organization Administrator rights is suffizient?

    Thanks a lot for clarification.

  • From a person who is about to migrate 3500 users from Domino To a new exchange 2007 environment, I hope this update does not cause any major issues when installing. From what I've read in previous blog entries Update Rollout 5 caused a whole lot of issues.
    One would hope that this update has had a whole lot more testing performed on it than whats its predecessor had.
  • Is SP2 for Exchange 2007 in sight?
  • Given the issues that a number of people have experienced when installing previous roll-up updates, the security fix should be available seperately. But will it?
  • I can't install RU5 because of the issue detailed at http://blogs.technet.com/timmcmic/archive/2008/12/21/exchange-2007-sp1-ru5-error-regarding-replication-between-computers-in-different-domains-when-using-standby-continuous-replication-scr.aspx (http://tinyurl.com/dhtkbq).  Will the security update be available in non-rollup form?
