You cannot install or uninstall Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on the double-byte character set (DBCS) version of Windows Server 2012 if the language preference for non-Unicode programs is set to the default language. To work around this issue, you must first change this setting. To do this, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, open the Clock, Region and Language item, and then click Region.
- Click the Administrative tab.
- In the Language for non-Unicode programs area, click Change system locale.
- On the Current system locale list, click English (United States), and then click OK.
After you successfully install or uninstall Update Rollup 1, revert this language setting, as appropriate.

Hey Paul, quick question, are you aware of any issues if all Exchange Servers in an organization are not at the same version? For example, our servers are still running EX2010 SP2 RU2 but just noticed one of our offices has introduced new servers and they have installed EX2010 SP3, Should we be worried about this? I mean we were not sure about SP3 but something tells me the ideal scenario is to have the same version across all servers in an organization. Appreciate your thoughts on this!! Cheers
and if we are forced to upgrade to SP3, can we go from SP1 RU2 to SP3? or would we have to apply SP2 and then SP3?

For one thing it means that other site has updated your AD Schema for Ex2010 SP3. Whether that is a concern for you and your normal change control procedures I don’t know 😉
Orgs can run on mixed versions of Exchange. The general rule is that the internet-facing site (ie the internet-facing CAS) needs to be the highest version. This is so that the internet-facing CAS can proxy connections for OWA/ActiveSync/etc to the internal CAS in the appropriate site.
Yes you can go directly from one SP to another without installing the SP’s or UR’s in between.
I tried to install Rollup 1 for SP3 and I keep getting a 1603 error. I verified that set-executionpolicy is “undefined” for all items, but it still doesn’t install.
Hi,
What I realized, I cannot install it when I just double click on the msp package but it works from elevated command prompt with the following command:
msiexec /update Exchange2010-KB2803727-x64-en.msp
I hope this helps.
Most grateful thanks for this – just spent a couple of nights bashing my head against this wall!
