Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 8

Posted on December 12, 2012 by Michel de Rooij

Besides the updated Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2, the Exchange team also released the following Rollups:

Exchange 2007 SP3 RU9 (version 8.3.297.2)
Exchange 2010 SP1 RU8 (version 14.1.438.0)

The rollups addresses vulnerabilities described in MS12-080. In addition, Rollup 9 for Exchange Server 2007 SP3 contains a fix for the EdgeTransport.exe process which could crash when processes a single occurrence of a recurring meeting (KB2748658).

The Exchange Versions, builds & dates page has been updated accordingly, including updated product version numbers.

Rereleases of Exchange 2010 SP1 RU8 and 2007 SP3 RU7

Besides Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2, the Exchange team also released updates of the following Rollups:

The KB article reads that, “This update resolves an issue in which the digital signature on files that are produced and signed by Microsoft expires prematurely as described in Microsoft Security Advisory 2749655.” However, that should have already been fixed already in the v2 updates (refer to the same Security Advisory).

The Exchange Versions, builds & dates page has been updated accordingly, including updated product version numbers.

With all this subversioning of rereleases, one may wonder why they didn’t release Rollup 5 for Exchange as Rollup 4 v3, which perhaps would be less confusing.

Rereleases of latest Exchange 2010 and 2007 Rollups

Posted on October 9, 2012 by Michel de Rooij

The Exchange team rereleased the following Rollups:

Exchange 2007 SP3 RU8 v2
Exchange 2010 SP1 RU7 v2
Exchange 2010 SP2 RU4 v2, including fix for KB2756987

These v2 updates solve an issue with a prematurely expiring certificate used to sign the update (see KB2749655), i.e. no code changes (apart from KB2756987).

The Exchange Versions, builds & dates page has been updated accordingly, including updated product version numbers.

Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 7

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Michel de Rooij

The Exchange Team silently released RU7 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (KB2743248). This update raises Exchange 2010 version number to 14.1.421.0.

This Rollup only includes the fix for the WebReady security issue described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-058 (KB2740358).

Note that update rollups are cumulative, i.e. they contain fixes released in earlier update rollups for the same product level (RTM, SPx). This means you don’t need to install previous update rollups during a fresh installation but can start with the latest rollup available right away.

As with any Hotfix, Rollup or Service Pack, I’d recommend to thoroughly test this rollup in a test and acceptance environment first, prior to implementing it in production. For the correct procedure on how to update DAG members, check here.
