Our setup before we applied Rollup 7:

Exchange 2010, SP2 Update Rollup 6 running on all servers.

2 Mailbox servers w/ DAG

3 CAS/HUB Servers using a hardware load balancer

No problems prior to the Rollup 7 installation.

The Rollup went fine on 4 out of the 5 Exchange Servers. On the 5th server, however, there are problems. The first time I tried to install RU7 it was about 5 hours in when I cancelled it. So I tried again and the install has been running for 13 hours and it appears to be only about 40% complete. The progress bar has been stuck in the same spot for nearly all of that time. Per an article I found on Susan Bradley site (SBS Diva) I had verified that "Check for publisher's certificate revocation" was disabled in IE prior to the start of the install.

I have seen Service Packs take a long time in the past and I have Rollup Updates take a long time too, but this is taking a very long time.

Anyone else  observing this issue with this latest Update Rollup for Exch10, SP2?

Thanks.

Good Afternoon,

Please cancel the installation, there should never be a Service Pack \ Rollup installation that takes that long.

Does anyone know if there is some way to see if it is still progressing?

How can one monitor what an Exchange Rollup update is doing? Is there a log file or something that can be observed during the process to give me some sense of where things are hung up?

Hi Marty,

There is no exchange tool to monitor an Exchange Rollup update progressing.

If you want to monitor your Exchange Server, I recommend you try to  use the SCOM.

What's more, you can see event logs in event viewer.  With the event logs in Event Viewer, you can obtain information about your hardware, software, and system components, and monitor security events on a local or remote computer. Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems, or help you predict potential system problems.

Hope it helps. If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Amy

uncheck the option "Check for publishers certificate revocation" from Internet explorer -> Advanced -> Security . Usually this option is checked the Rollup would consume more time to update.Pls Try
