This is a heads up that Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 is in the final stages of getting released and should be out in a couple of days. The next step for the Exchange team will be to release the Update Rollup onto the Download Center and then publish it to Microsoft Update. Microsoft Update publishing will happen 2-3 weeks after the Download Center publishing, due to internal policies and processes. We will let you know when this happens.
Regarding the overall patching experience, we have addressed the issue of Exchange 2007 managed services might time out during certificate revocation checks. While we will have a full list of issues fixed when the Rollup releases, some of major issues are:
- CDCR: Need an option to apply ELC policy to only the root instead of applying it recursively to root and all subfolders
- CDCR: Add generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false" to Exchange Services Config Files
- SCR does not copy logs in a disjoint namespace scenario
- SCR cannot be enabled when DNS suffixes differ on source/target in disjoint namespace scenarios
- Exchange 2007 CAS cannot copy the OAB from the OAB share on Windows Server 2008-based Exchange 2007 CCR clusters
- Messages get stuck in outbox on Windows Mobile 6.1 devices When using CAS proxy
- CDCR: MSI patching doesn't update logon.aspx if the file is modified by customer
PS. The "CDCR" listed in titles above stands for "Critical Design Change Request" - as in actual design changes that we took on in this Rollup (we usually take on a few of those in every Rollup)
