Microsoft Releases Update Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP1

Microsoft has announced the release of Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1.

This update contains a number of customer-reported and internally found issues since the release of RU1. See ‘KB 2509910: Description of Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1′ for more details. In particular we would like to specifically call out the following fixes which are included in this release:

  • 2519359 Unable to Create a ‘Reply With’ Rule on Public Folders Even With Owner and Send As Permissions
  • 2394554 Generating DSN fails if original mail uses non-support encoding charset.
  • 2490134 Outlook 2007 does not deliver “Delayed Delivery” Messages against an Exchange 2010 Server in Online mode with any additional Transport loaded in the Outlook Profile

I also noted this fix that will be important for anyone planning a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 in a very large environment where users are likely to be members of more than 200 security groups.

  • 2491354 You cannot view the free/busy information of users in a mixed Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 environment

You can see the full list of updates here or download the update rollup here.

Deploying Exchange Server 2010 Update Rollup 4

The standard order of deployment for Exchange Server updates applies.

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

When Microsoft released Update Rollup 3 it had to be withdrawn due to issues it caused for Blackberry customers. At around the same time an update rollup for Exchange 2007 also had to be withdrawn and re-released due to serious bugs. Those incidents shook the confidence of many Exchange customers and administrators so I expect there will be more caution applied for deployment of this latest update rollup.

    Back from a nice long vacation and can see that Microsoft removed the download mid July and released a version 2 of Update Rollup 4 on 23rd.

    I shall install the new version tonight and test the functionality. Did you try the version 2 to verify that the copying/move problem is solved ?

        OK, I installed on my Denmark servers last night and it looks like it is working correctly. Will update my Asia servers later tonight.

    Thanks for updating information on the issue. I have logged the case with Microsoft, but since the problem is with Outlook I guess they need to decide who will to solve it.

    I rolled my Mailbox servers back to UR 3v3, and have the functionality back. Now I only miss some of the other things UR4 did solve, and which was why I rolled it out quite soon after release.

    Looks like Microsoft has identified the issue as being a bug in Outlook:

    Hi Paul,

    No, have not contacted Microsoft yet.

    Same problem occurs if I move a folder structure from a Public folder to a mailbox or to another piblic folder. The top folder and messages are moved, but all subfolders and content is not moved, just deleted…
    Confuses users a lot…

    Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 4:

    I installed this update yesterday, and now uninstalling it from mailbox servers.

    After installing the update, I cannot copy folder structures in Public Folders. When I copy a folder with subfolders, only the top folder is copied. Bad situation for us using Public folders with large subfolder structures. After uninstalling from mailbox servers I can do the copying again… So, not everything is OK with this rollup.
