Now upgrading Cluster servers read the article bb carefully. Now if you did not fallow the sequence and trying to run CMS upgrade setup will fail. In order to get the setup going you need to change the watermark registry Values.
Double click on the watermark and make sure there is nothing in the Value data filed. This Watermark is very important! It is how setup notes where it left off, and what still needs to be completed.
Let me know if you want me to write about a specific topic. Passive node went fine, upgradecms went fine and the mail server is happy on Node B. Got the fix — strangely enough powershell was the issue. Running the setup. Is there any specfic steps that needs to be followed for upgrading forefront for exchange SP2 in a CCR environment. Use Fsutility command line to disable the forefront security during the sp2 upgrade and enable it afterwards. I know the time will vary depending on size and number of mailboxes but I'm just looking for a ballpark so I know how early I need to come in ;.
The upgrade process shouldn't take that long, like long hours. I would suggest to do the work in the weekend friday evening being the best rather than coming early on a weekday and finding out that the upgrade is still running while your staff starts to come in. This was a great post, thanks for the hand. Organization Checks ……………………. Extending Active Directory schema Progress ……………………. The Exchange Server Setup operation did not complete. Great post, very helpful… got a few questions, 1.
CMS upgrade should be done via Exchange Shell. The Distributed Transaction Coordinator serivce must be started before setup can continue 3. Forefront should be disabled prior to upgrade. Please clarify…. Answers below.
It can only be done using shell. DTCS service will be running as normal. Doesn't have to pay much attention to it. You must either remove Forefront Security for Exchange Server or upgrade it to a later version before you can upgrade to Exchange SP2. If you are running the latest version of Forefront Security for Exchange Server, you must stop all Forefront services before you run the Exchange SP2 Setup program.
Thanks for the quick response. I hope we don't have to remove it before upgrade to SP2. Hi Rajith Jose, I would like to add one more prerequisit. Windows Installer 4. Any difference here if one is using windows server or windows server on the CCR-servers? Step to install sP1 is same for Sp2. Can anyone confirm estimated downtime when upgrading to SP2? What are you guys experiencing? Thanks for the info. I have an environment where the Exchange servers have been delegated for installation.
I have had no problem installing Sp2 on non-ccr servers that were provisioned in the same manner. This is a great manual. But there's a problem with the servicepack regarding the backup plugin on the 2nd node it's not being installed. In regards to downtime, the downtime is not huge — it's probably been on the order of 15 minutes tops for every server I've done.
Passive Node: Down 15 minutes then reboot. CMS: Down 5 minutes, tops. This is a complete downtime though, no service during this time! Former Active Node: Down 15 minutes then reboot. In one cluster I've upgraded recently, there were 2 days of backed up logfiles yes, someone hadn't checked the backup server and between that and the various downtimes the CCR decided that the databases were too far out of sync, and I had to do a complete reseed of GB of mail. Not fun. Then move the cluster to the restarted passive node and stop the cluster.
And continue…. Thanks for this great post. I'm just wondering about rolling back a failed upgrade. I understand that SP2 cannot be removed. Let's say the node 1 upgrade has been successful and the CMS upgrade fails. No upgrade has been started on node 2 at this point. Do you know what will be upgraded during the CMS upgrade and what we would do if this fails? Unable to remove product with code 24b2cdefe-ba46d9d5e6b Fatal error during installation.
