Released: Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3

[The_Exchange_Team]

Earlier today the Exchange CXP team released Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2007 SP3 to the Download Center. The release of the rollup via Microsoft Update will happen on September 21st.

This update includes new fixes for the following server roles:

• Client Access
• Edge Transport
• Hub Transport
• Mailbox
• Unified Messaging

A fix for the Exchange 2007 SP3 and OWA S/MIME Version Mismatch we blogged about soon after the release of Service Pack 3 is included in this release, and additionally we'd like to call out the following fixes:

1. KB 980301 The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service stops responding during a Volume Shadow Copy Service backup on an Exchange Server 2007 server
2. KB 983529 The EdgeTransport.exe process crashes and then restarts on an Exchange Server 2007 server
3. KB 973637 Exchange Server 2007 creates incorrect Lotus Notes proxy email addresses
4. KB 982928 The Msftesql.exe process continues using memory on an Exchange Server 2007 server
5. KB 983296 Exchange ActiveSync crashes on an Exchange Server 2007 server causing the client synchronization to be unavailable

For a full list of the fixes included in this rollup, see KB 2279665 Description of Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3.

Note for Forefront Protection for Exchange users

For those of you running Forefront Protection for Exchange, be sure you perform these important steps from the command line in the Forefront directory before and after installing this rollup. Without these steps, the Information Store and Transport services will not start.

1. Before installing the rollup, disable ForeFront by using the "fscutility /disable" command
2. After rollup installation completes, re-enable ForeFront by running the "fscutility /enable" command

Since our company installed MS Exchange SP3, when a message is copied in the replying message, the value of "X-originating-Email" (instead of that of "From", as was the case before) is displayed for "From" header information, while the value of "Reply-to" is still used to send the replying message. This mismatching is indeed confusing for some people. I guess this change might be adopted for some anti-spam consideration. But I do think this change is, logically, not very relevant; it just prevents people from using a very useful and flexible feature of SMTP as before.

I see that "KB 973637 Exchange Server 2007 creates incorrect Lotus Notes proxy email addresses " really fixing the Notes addresses on the proxyaddresses, but still it does not write correct "External E-Mail Address".

Hello, are there any updates on the 'New-ReceiveConnector' error ?

[#5]

To EU -- don't reimage, just roll back rollup 1 as that's the only one that has the receive connecter problem.

RU1 fixes the Tivoli backup issue on Exchange.  Any updates on the COM issue?

[#7]

Are there any updates on the 'New-ReceiveConnector' error?  Due to security and dpm backup issues, we had to install ru1 after SP3 was installed.
