New Product Strategies for Exchange 2007
Last time, when we talk about patches, roll up updates, apply it in sequence is important to ensure the stabilities.
However, recently read an article published July 7 2008. Good news to share:
In Exchange 2007, Microsoft works in a different way. Let say you are applying rollup update 2. All the fix and files in rollup update 1 will be included too. This means, less updates need to be done. Personally, this is a good change - which no one would like to patch our server all the time...

SP1 to install in CCR
Recently, one of our customer is asking on how to implement Exchange 2007 SP1 into thier beloved CCR.
As known, CCR is a clustered solution, which means only can fit in Mailbox Server Role. Thus, to apply SP1, it is recommended to apply to a CAS (Client Access Server) and HUB (Hub transport Server) first.
Once both of the server updated, then you can update your CCR by using a command prompt, not GUI :)
Upgrade your CCR to a passive cluster node (eg: Node 2) first using the following command:
setup /m:upgrade
Once successfuly, upgrade the active node (eg: Node 1).

Installing Exchange 2007 SP1
Final release of Exchange 2007 SP1 few days back. Managed to successful deploy it in one of the production environment.
Something to share here - you will recommend to install patch for KB 942027 - an issue of .net framework 64bit performance tuning.
If you have antivirus that is bind to Exchange services and IIS, you will need to stop the service for the moment.
It will then take about 20 minutes to install (depending on the spec of your machine).
Few thing to share here. Its a total reinstall of Exchange binary files. So, it will as usual check the pre-requisite on the installation, remove Exchange existing binary then install the binary. You will need to have a moment of downtime, thus, plan out your maintenance window.

So, start roll it out and enjoy the benefit.
