Service Packing 2007

[exdmin]

Hello, wondering if you guys can help...

Set up,

Production
x2 HUB/CAS 2007
x2 exchange 2007 MBX in a Single Copy Cluster configuration.

DR

x1 HUB/CAS
x1 MBX Server configured Standby Continuous Replication

All servers are SP1

We need to introduce exchange 2010 which requires 2007 to be SP2 or more.

Question, which 2007 servers need to be upgraded to SP2 first? Would this be the correct approach?
DR HUB/CAS
DR MBX
Prod HUB/CAS
Prod MBX

If someone could let me know if they have a step-by-step process, that would bee great!

Thanks

The order you described is the one I would use. This is the official documentation on how to patch Exchange 2007 clusters:

So after taking care of the DR site completely, and then patching the CAS/HUB in the production site, you'd then patch your SCC MBX cluster according to the steps in the document I linked to.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.
I was going to use this for the upgrade process to the SCC aspect

What I really wanted was a step by step i.e. Do I suspend replication to the SCR? When would I do this when updating DR/Prod.

Thanks
