<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Upgrading to exchange 2013. &nbsp;Working on a CAS server running windows 2008 x64, exchange 2013 is patched up to exchange 2010 SP3.<br />
Installed all pre-requisites. &nbsp;upgraded the schema and then attempted to &quot;upgrade&quot; the CAS server and received a message about exchange being in an inconsistent state and I have to run recovery...not really what I expected to see.<br />
<br />
Any advise here? &nbsp;Is this normal and I should run in recovery mode in order to upgrade the CAS server. &nbsp;If it's not normal, it doesn't make sense to run 2013 recovery on a 2010 server now does it?
