ok so i ran the CU9 update yesterday morning, was upgrading from CU6.
using the GUI went thought all the copy files and when is was doing the domain prep it failed and only after a day of looking at the logs i can say why. deleted publicfolderdatabase error 2937 is reported in the application logs and in the exchange setup logs it reports [ERROR] You don't have permissions to read the security descriptor on CN=Deleted Objects,DC=XXXXXXXXXX,DC=com
ok so i have a problem and need to recreate the public folder database?
but the big problem was when using the GUI for the install it turns the transport queues to inactive!!!!! this is before it's done any testing and if it fails then it doesn't turn them back on!!! oh no, reboot and still inactive!
ok so i did the upgrade at 5am on a friday probably not the best idea, but was done and when it failed i thought i'd look at the logs and do the upgrade after i'd figured out what was going wrong.
rebooted the server and exchange looks like its up and running, opens outlook and send a couple of emails, then i notice that the mails are stuck in the outbox!
get-queue
and see that there are no queues!! everyone is starting to come in the office and outlook opens fine but you cant send or receive emails. couldn't find anything on the net so had to call MS , took them about 2 minutes to sort it!!!!!!!
Get-ServerComponentState XXXXXXXXX
everything set to inactive
Set-ServerComponentState -Component ServerWideOffline -Identity XXXX -Requester Functional -State Active
Set-ServerComponentState -Component HubTransport -Identity XXXX -Requester Functional -State Active
Set-ServerComponentState -Component FrontendTransport -Identity XXXXX -Requester Functional -State Active
Set-ServerComponentState -Component MapiProxy -Identity XXXXX -Requester Functional -State Active
Get-ServerComponentState XXXXX<o:p></o:p>
everything working again!!!!!!!!
if you do the command line setup /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms this doesnt take the queues offline
so i have a call back from MS this morning to go though the setup of CU9 but i know now that it's the publicfolder database thats the problem, question is how do i recreate it?
