    Thank you Paul for quick reply.

    Hi Paul,

    I understand we should apply SP3 and/or its rollup 7 to Internet faced CAS first…

    I don’t do CAS proxy, so all CAS are Internet faced. Questions are:

    1. We have F5 HW LB that load balance of two Internet faced CAS servers, there are several other Internet faced CAS standalone CAS servers that are not managed by F5 LB. some of just standby CAS servers, some of them are dedicated for BES use only. Can we update one of the standby CAS servers first to test it exclusively see if everything is OK. Then upgrade F5 CAS server farm later? Will this cause any potential issue.
    2. Rollup 7 for Exchange 2010 is out about one month ago. Is there any known issue if do SP3 upgrade with rollup 7 directly?

    Thanks,
    Harry

      1. I don’t think it will matter in your case, if the CAS are not proxying any connections to other CAS in internal AD sites.

      2. None that I’m aware of.

    Hi Paul,

    Is there any reason why we change order of upgrade for rollup 7 to

    1.Client Access servers, starting with the internet-facing ones. See this article for how to patch a CAS array.
    2.Hub Transport servers
    3.Unified Messaging servers
    4.Mailbox servers. See this article for how to patch a Database Availability Group.
    5.Edge Transport servers

    from rollup 6, you put the order of patches

    1.Client Access servers, starting with the internet-facing ones. See this article for how to patch a CAS array.
    2.Hub Transport servers and Edge Transport servers
    3.Mailbox servers. See this article for how to patch a Database Availability Group.
    4. Unified Messaging servers

      At some point the upgrade order advice changed from Microsoft and I only noticed recently. I haven’t gone back to check all prior articles that may include the info.
