Microsoft has released Update Rollup 3 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2.

Note: possible issue with UR3 described in this forums thread. The issue is acknowledged in the comments here but appears to have little or no impact other than excessive “user setting preferredsite not available” Event Log entries.
