SBS 2008 Update Rollup 5 Released

Microsoft has just released Update Rollup 5 for Windows Small Business Server 2008. This update is available from the Microsoft Update website.

This update addresses the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

Issue 1
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) log files grow quickly and consume a large amount of disk space.

Issue 2
You cannot correctly disable IP version 6 (IPv6) by clearing the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) checkbox in the network connection properties dialog box.

Issue 3
When you try to install Windows SBS 2008 Update Rollup 4 after you uninstall Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the installation may fail.

Issue 4
When you try to edit the properties of a user account, you may receive the following error message:
“Invalid E-mail alias
This e-mail alias already exists. Type a different e-mail alias.”

Note: This issue occurs when the user account has the same SMTP mailbox name as a mail-enabled contact. For example, a user account has an email address of test@contoso.com, and a mail-enabled contact has an email address of test@adventureworks.com. In this example, you may receive the error message when you try to change the user account.

Issue 5
After you install an earlier update rollup for Windows SBS 2008, you may receive the following event in the application event log every 5 to 10 minutes:
Log Name: Application

2010 in review

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 34,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 4 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 42 new posts, not bad for the first year! There were 26 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 2mb. That’s about 2 pictures per month.

The busiest day of the year was October 18th with 584 views. The most popular post that day was Upgrade Your New PDF Acrobat Reader Hoax – Part III.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were forums.msexchange.org, experts-exchange.com, discussions.apple.com, gfi.com, and petri.co.il.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for adobe pdf reader software upgrade notification, exchange 2010 activesync not working, microsoft exchange 2003 activesync communication protocol, and exchange 2010 rollup.
