Exchange 2010 SP2 installation errors

Hi

I am trying to install SP2 onto my Exhange 2010 SP1 servers.

Pre-install checks complete fine but when I hit upgrade it automatically fails with an error:

Entry DN: CN=ms-Exch-ELC-Expiry-Action,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=evo,DC=local
Add error on entry starting on line 1: Operations Error

The server side error is: 0x21a2 The FSMO role ownership could not be verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with at least one replication partner.

The extended server error is:

000021A2: SvcErr: DSID-030A0AE6, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 8610

An error has occurred in the program

I have 2 Exchange 2010 Servers in a DAG/CAS, and a single DC.

Any ideas?

Have you run DCDIAG to check for an errors? As its a single domain we can rule out replication errors that I would normally suguest....
Firewall dissabled on all servers? IPV6 installed? enabled/dissabled?

Aha...I did have an old DC, called ECSDC. I decommissioned this server as it was getting too unreliable. If I remember correctly I think I had to seize roles...

Maybe something there?

Ok, followed the petri link and removed a lot of old DC objects.

DCDIAG is clean.

Will try upgrade again now!

Neil Russell

Yep, sorry for delay was having my tea! As Jessiepak says, do a metadata cleanup of the deleted server and you should be fine to install.

Always when in doubt and doing an exchange or AD install and it fails, do a DCDIAG, 99% of the time it will hold the answer.
