Update Rollup 2 for Exchange Server 2007 (KB935490)

by ucinfo, posted in Flaphead, MsExchange

Nooooooooooooooooo not yet.  So Update Rollup 1 came out what 3 weeks.  So in a business, you download it and the assign someone to test it. (Week 1).  You then test it for a week (Week 2) and then arrange a suitable change window to apply the fix.

So this weekend could be the change date to apply this fix.  Now that is 2 weeks of work wasted as I should actually test Update Rollup 2 instead!

Anyway .. Update Rollup 2 for Exchange Server 2007 resolves issues that were found in Exchange Server 2007 since the software was released. This update rollup is highly recommended for all Exchange Server 2007 customers.  Update Rollup 2 for Exchange 2007 is a cumulative update.

It has the 32 and 64 bit versions for download as .msp again. Only took 20mins to apply on a server that already had applied Update Rollup 1.  For a fresh install it took just over 2 hours!

The Cyclepod

Saw this in the morning rag on the train and though it worthy of a mention.

The Cyclepod stores eight bikes in a two metre diameter. So a single Cyclepod takes 30% less space than the equivalent, four Sheffield stands, whilst the Minipod (for children’s bikes) uses 40% less space and the wall pod nearly 50% less. It’s as simple as that!

Looks a hell of a lot better than the “Rings” you get now
