Exchange 2007 SP3 is released

What’s New in SP3 for


Server Support

Server 2007 SP3 supports all 2007 roles on the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system.

Support

Exchange 2007 SP3 supports the installation of the Exchange 2007 management on a computer that is running Windows 7. Additionally, Exchange 2007 SP3 provides support for the installation of the Exchange 2007 Management together with the Exchange Server 2010 Management on the same Windows 7-based computer.

Improved Password Reset Functionality

Exchange 2007 SP3 introduces password reset functionality for Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.

To enable the password reset feature

  1. Log on to the Exchange server that is running the CAS role by using an account that has local administrator rights.

  2. Start Registry Editor, and then locate the following registry subkey:

    HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchange OWA

  3. Create the following DWORD value if it does not already exist:

    Value name: ChangeExpiredPasswordEnabledValue type: REG_DWORDValue data: 1

  4. Exit Registry Editor.

 Updated Search Functionality

Exchange 2007 SP3 includes updates to the Exchange Search (MSSearch) component. MSSearch provides support for creating full text indexes for Exchange stores. Exchange 2007 SP3 updates the MSSearch binary files to MSSearch 3.1.

Schema Changes

Exchange 2007 SP3 includes schema changes for certain Unified Messaging (UM) mailbox attributes. For more information, see Active Directory Schema Changes (SP3).

Support for Right-to-Left Disclaimer Text

Exchange 2007 SP3 includes support for Right-to-Left text in e-mail message disclaimers in a right-to-left language, such as Arabic. In earlier versions of Exchange, when you use a transport rule to create a disclaimer in a right-to-left language on an Exchange 2007 Hub Transport server, the text appears incorrectly when you it from 2007.

Exchange 2007 SP3 adds functionality to the transport rule setting to fully support right-to-left text in disclaimers.

Exchange 2007 The exchange server address list service failed to respond. After Upgrading Domain Controllers to 2008 R2

I want to creat a new mailbox for a new user. But i get the following error: The server address list service failed to respond.
image

Solution:
Go to Organization Configuration in EMC. Right click it in EMC and select Modify Configuration Domain Controller. Point it to your DC hosting the PDC

image 

After that restart the Exchange System Attendant services on the mailbox server.

The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant Service does the following thing:

Forwards directory lookups to a global catalog server for legacy clients, generates e-mail addresses and offline address books, updates free/busy information for legacy clients, and maintains permissions and group memberships for the server. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
