Hej jan.

Jag upplevde samma sak med rollup 4 för 2010. Tror det har kommit nya rekomendationer på hur man skall lägga på rollups nu.

The best way to check for the version of the rollup is to look at exsetup.exe/exsetup.com on the box. That would be the best way to check it.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
The build numbers doesn`t change in the version numbers provided by Get-ExchangeServer between update rollups, only between new editions and service packs.
You can find some information on this here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232170(EXCHG.80).aspx

I`m not aware which way is the best to check for the latest buildnumber after installing Update Rollups, but one way might be checking the latest version number in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa folder (CAS role only).

Hi Jan,
nice post. I followed your instructions and got to the final screen that confirms the successful installation of the rollup. The strange part is that when I try to check the build version of the exchange using:
Get-ExchangeServer | fl name,edition,admindisplayversion
I get the old build number – 14.0.639.21. Can you check on your servers if the build number has change. Here is a link with all builds:

I have customers who ended up with no Exchange files, WebAccess files not present or all Exchange services set to disabled. The common solution is to run the Update Rollup in elevated mode and just re-run the Update Rollup. Jan Egil Ring has posted a comprehensive best practice to running Update Rollups and also provide som troubleshooting tips in this blog article: http://blog.powershell.no/2010/04/20/installing-exchange-server-20072010-update-rollups [...]

Nice post! Yes, this is a problem. We are looking at it as a top issue to address in the next rollup. The policies depend on the WMI Service being started and the ServiceControl stops and disables that when it stops the Exchange services. When we call out to powershell to restart services, the WMI service is disabled so the Group Polocy check fails as it requires WMI to be running and the powershell call fails. A more technical KB/Blog is going out shortly as well as other general patching blog posts
