If you’re running Exchange Server 2007 SP3, you need to apply Update Rollup 2 for Exchange 2007 to address the issues listed below.

Remember, you only need to download the latest update for the version of Exchange that you’re running.

Here is a list of the fixes included in update rollup 2:

Installation Notes:

If you haven’t installed Exchange Server yet, you can use the info at Quicker Exchange installs complete with service packs and rollups to save you some time.

Microsoft Update can’t detect rollups for Exchange 2010 servers that are members of a Database Availability Group (DAG). See the post Installing Exchange 2010 Rollups on DAG Servers for info, and a script, for installing update rollups.

Update Rollups should be applied to Internet facing Client Access Servers before being installed on non-Internet facing Client Access Servers.

If you’re installing the update rollup on Exchange servers that don’t have Internet access, see “Installing Exchange 2007 & 2010 rollups on servers that don’t have Internet access” for some additional steps.

Also, the installer and Add/Remove Programs text is only in English – even when being installed on non-English systems.

Note to Forefront users:

If you don’t disable Forefront before installing a rollup or service pack, and enable afterwards, you run the risk of Exchange related services not starting. You can disable Forefront by going to a command prompt and navigating to the Forefront directory and running FSCUtility /disable. To enable Forefront after installation of a UR or SP, run FSCUtility /enable.

Script: Set-Exchange2010RedirectSSL.ps1 – Redirecting the Root Web Site to /owa and Forcing SSL in Exchange 2010

April 28th, 2010 46 comments

Exchange2010LogoA common practice is to redirect the default website to the OWA site in IIS. This allows for a shorter URL for users to remember, and catches those who don’t append “/owa “. It’s a simple enough task for an administrator to do, but I wanted to script it so that I could include it in other Exchange 2010 build scripts to help streamline the process.

Another common practice is to force SSL on specific virtual directories to help enhance security of client access to Exchange. This can take a few extra minutes, but can easily be scripted as well, so I combined both into a simple script. Some of the initial code came from colleague and Exchange Ranger Mark Smith, but I converted it to PowerShell, and added some checks and balances.

Run the script after installing Exchange, and pass it the destination to forward to. An example would be

.\Set-Exchange2010RedirectSSL.ps1 -url "https://mail.ucunleashed.com/owa"

This will redirect the root site to the URL listed. If you don’t specify the ForceSSL option, it will automatically secure the recommended virtual directories. To override that, set it to $false, such as

.\Set-Exchange2010RedirectSSL.ps1 -url "https://mail.ucunleashed.com/owa" -ForceSSL $false

The script starts by verifying the web-http-redirect feature is installed. If not, it will install it. Then, the script will backup the current IIS config, apply the changes, then do an IISRESET for them to take effect.

If you’re not sure of how to run it, there is built in help. Just run

Get-Help .\Set-Exchange2010RedirectSSL.ps1

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the script also assigns permissions to the web.config file for the Offline Address Book to resolve a problem where downloading of the OAB would stop in the middle after configuring HTTP redirection. Microsoft Exchange PFE Bhargav Shukla has pointed out that this was mentioned in fellow MVP Henrik Walther’s post OAB issues after simplifying the OWA 2010 URL? As mentioned earlier, I got initial code from someone else, and didn’t realize that Henrik had already posted about it. So rather than go into details on the issue, please visit Henrik’s excellent post if you’d like more info. Thanks to both Henrik and Bhargav.

Installation

Execution Policy: Third-party PowerShell scripts may require that the PowerShell Execution Policy be set to either AllSigned, RemoteSigned, or Unrestricted. The default is Restricted, which prevents scripts – even code signed scripts – from running. For more information about setting your Execution Policy, see Using the Set-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet.

Donations

I’ve never been one to really solicit donations for my work. My offerings are created because *I* need to solve a problem, and once I do, it makes sense to offer the results of my work to the public. I mean, let’s face it: I can’t be the only one with that particular issue, right? Quite often, to my surprise, I’m asked why I don’t have a “donate” button so people can donate a few bucks. I’ve never really put much thought into it. But those inquiries are coming more often now, so I’m yielding to them. If you’d like to donate, you can send a few bucks via PayPal at https://www.paypal.me/PatRichard. Money collected from that will go to the costs of my website (hosting and domain names), as well as to my home lab.

Installation Notes:

If you haven’t installed Exchange Server yet, you can use the info at Quicker Exchange installs complete with service packs and rollups to save you some time.

Microsoft Update can’t detect rollups for Exchange 2010 servers that are members of a Database Availability Group (DAG). See the post Installing Exchange 2010 Rollups on DAG Servers for info, and a script, for installing update rollups.

Update Rollups should be applied to Internet facing Client Access Servers before being installed on non-Internet facing Client Access Servers.

If you’re installing the update rollup on Exchange servers that don’t have Internet access, see “Installing Exchange 2007 & 2010 rollups on servers that don’t have Internet access” for some additional steps.
