Hello Vinkie,
Read the comments above, you need connection to internet to start a couple of services after installation of UR5.
Type in "proxycfg -d proxyserver:port" on the server, then you can start the services.
I wonder what MS think about, you can't start the mailserver because the internet connection is down...

ADD:
If you trying to implement creating/changing *.config files solution, do not forget non-default-services enabled in your configuration (e.g. IMAP4 service files located not in bin folder).
I think it must be done for all *.exe files in exchange subfolders (I have 40+ :) for 100 % working configuration.

you need access to the net on the server after installing UR5

start/run:

proxycfg -p proxyserver:port (if u have proxy)
proxycfg -d (connected directly to the internet)



this helped me.. i hope that it works for you too.

Cheers

Tried to install Update Rollup 5 on an Exchange 2007 RTM  server without internet access. The proxycfg trick works, but...

The server also has Forefront Security installed and after installing UR5, the Transport service no longer wants to start.

I tried installing Update Rollup 1 for Forefront (KB 936831), but that didn't work.

Rolling back to UR4 allows the Transport service to start again...

Vinkie, RU5 suppose to have all the element of RU 1,2,3 and 4.
I installed RU5 and it disabled all exchange services,,,grrrrrrrr
I installed sp1 beta and it did not but I can't uninstall sp1 beta.
It seems M$ wants to released half baked product first and try to fix issue with service packs!
Now I don't belived in RollUps...what is it? bunch of hot fixes?

You can also added the following to the <servicename>.Config this way it does not affect all the services

We had to do to get the Exchange Services to work after RU5 was to add this to existing .Config files and created New Config files for each service that did not start.

Example: for the MSExchangeTransport.exe  we had to create this file “MSExchangeTransport.exe.config” this is a Text file and add :

<configuration>
   <runtime>
       <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
   </runtime>
</configuration>

For services with existing file just add :

       <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false" />

In-between the <runtime> and </runtime>

Note: Just an addition… It didn’t work for me until I added a space after the “false” value:

       <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"_/>
