After fixing my Active Directory I start the upgrade of my current Exchange 2007 server. As you will see from the screenshots below the installation is straight forward but the requirements are killing me with this service pack upgrade. First of all make sure  a) your Active Directory replication is working properly, b) Exchange 2007 server has been installed with Windows Server 2003 SP2 and c) Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 has been installed. To complete these requirements as posted before I was forced to remove one of my domain controllers running in a virtual machine with dcpromo /forceremoval and metadata cleanup; this box did not replicate for three months.

You can also upgrade from command line. I used gui mode to illustrate the process.

Setup.com /mode:upgrade

 

Check the hyperlink at Technet for all updates within SP1 What’s New in Exchange Server 2007 SP1. I like to integration with Windows Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 Sp1, Exchange Management console updates and the OWA premium changes.

KB949758 allows you to install the remote management console of a Windows Server 2008 computer running the Hyper-V RC0 role. Download the update here for x86 or x64 if you are running Windows Vista SP1. I already hit couple of times issues when managing my virtual machines remotely with RDP console session.

I am not able to control mouse session when using rdp console session Hyper-V Manager Virtual Machine Connections and only keyboard is working. “Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop Session”.

The update for my x86 machine only requires 1.52MB of space and 5 minutes of installing.

After the update has been installed go to Administrative Tools and start the Hyper-V Manager mmc console for your Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V RC0 host servers.
