GAL Segmentation - what an excellent and hugely overdue feature!!!

Will need to have a play with it on my Lab at home...

[DrCheese]

Cant find anything bout an AD schema ungrade in your links can you point me in the right direction please?

 

My attemted upgrade passed all the prerequesite checks but failled at install.

 

[RabbieBurns]

Ok I fixed my problem, thanks to this post here Arctic Falcon - › Otherwellknownobjectserror installing Exchange 2010 SP1..

 

Not entirely sure what it did but it worked and SP2 went on no worries.

[DrCheese]

ah ok, I read that it required a schema upgrade on a website before the release notes were published. If they don't mention it then I wouldn't worry about it.

[RabbieBurns]

I cant seem to find an SP2 integrated ISO on the MS LIcensing site, are they planning on releasing one like they did SP1?

[DrCheese]

The SP2 installer is the complete installer AFIAK

[RabbieBurns]

you are right!
