I was installing FSE SP2 on the Exchange Server. I have installed it on more than one server but on the last one, the setup hung on “Setting Up Registry” message with no errors nor warnings in the event viewer!

I found that the solution was to install Hotfix Rollup 2 for Forefront Security for Exchange Server Service Pack 1 (KB 946864).

I wrote an article about Exchange 2007 Standby Continuous Replication (SCR); an overview, how it works and how to enable it. There is also a test for SCR by moving the Exchange service to the disaster recovery (DR) site.
To read the full article, you can find it on ExchangeInbox.com @ http://www.exchangeinbox.com/article.aspx?i=149

Some times you need to increase the period for which the message tracking logs kept in your Exchange server. The default maximum age for message tracking logs in Microsoft Exchange server 2007 is 30 days:

Get-TransportServer <TransportServerName>| fl *track*

To set the maximum message tracking logs age to another period you can use the following command:

Set-TransportServer <TransportServerName> -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge dd.hh:mm:ss

Now check
Get-TransportServer <TransportServerName>| fl *track*

If you have installed Exchange 2007 on a Single Copy Cluster (SCC) server you may have the Offline Address Book generation process failed with the event id 9334 and 9109.

EntryType : Error
EventID : 9334
Message : OALGen encountered error ffffffff while initializing the offline address list
generation process. No offline address lists have been generated.
Please check the event log for more information.
