HI,
We are running Exchange 2007 SP2 on windows server 2008 SP2 and looking to update it to Exchange SP3 with the latest rollup.Is this supported..?
Please let me know as i seem to find quite a few different articles with regards to this as some people say it is supported and some say it is not.
It is supported – https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607233(v=exchg.80).aspx
Windows Installer version 4.5 is a prerequisite to installing Exchange 2007 SP3. This is required for upgrade scenarios and for new installations of Exchange 2007 SP3.
To address this issue, install the latest version of Windows Installer before you install Exchange 2007 SP3. After you install Windows Installer 4.5, you may have to restart the computer. To install this software, see Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable.
noteNote:
You do not have to download and install Windows Installer 4.5 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2). Windows Server 2008 SP2 includes Windows Installer 4.5.
Hi,
We are currently running exchange 2007 sp2 on windows 2008 serive pack 2. Everything was working fine till yesterday we started facing issue on our Edge Server “The EdgeTransport.exe process consumes 100 percent of CPU resources on an Exchange Server 2007 Edge Transport server” And its solution on Microsoft websites is to update to Exchange 2007 SP3 Rollup 4.
Now i want to update our servers to sp3. Can i just update our Edge Transport Server to sp3?
Or i have to follow the order mentioned in above post. I am just afraid to update the schema as it is production environment. Please guide
All should be SP3. Not just Edge.
I have Exchange Server 2007 Version: 08.02.0301.000
i need to upgrade to SP3 , shall i install SP3 directly
Exchange Server 2007 Version: 08.02.0301.000
I need to upgrade to Exchange Server 2007 SP3 , shall i start installing SP3 directly ?
