You can download it from here

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28190

Exchange 2010 SP2 is a complete installation software pack, so for new Exchange installations, you can use it to start with from scratch.

Also when you use it for updating your current installations, be aware that you need Schema- and/or Organisaiton Administrator rights, because it contains a Schema update for your Active Directory.

And this Schema update needs to be execute in the domain where the Schema Master Role exist. So run setup /prepareAD not in the domain where you operate your Exchange Servers, it will not work. You need to go to the root domain, if there is the Schema Master or you have to move the Schema Master on to a domain controller in the domain where you operate your Exchange environment.

And remember that you should wait for replication across your AD after you’ve performed the Exchange 2010 SP2 Schema update.

During you’re waiting for replication, you can use the time to install the ‘IIS 6 WMI Compatibility’ feature. It is mandatory for your following Exchange 2010 SP2 installation, because of the new ‘Outlook Mini’ feature, which requires this feature on your CAS server roles.

Schedule

5 minutes for /prepareAD
15 minutes for replication (more if you have higher replication times set on your site links)
5 minutes for feature prerequisits
30 minutes for finishing SP2 setup per system

so you should be through with it within a hour for your first system and schedule 30 minutes for every following systems …

Reboot after SP2 installation should not be necessary.

And think about to disable Anti Virus Scanning on the box you’re going to perform Exchange 2010 SP2 Setup for upgrade.

Read the prerequisits before starting your installation

As you know, this feature was removed from the current version of Exchange. There are some features back with Exchange 2010 SP1 back not as we had it in the past with legacy versions.

Now with Exchange 2010 SP2 we will get back functionality on a standard On-Premise Exchange environment.

iPhone, OWA Premium and POP3/IMAP4 issues with Exchange 2010 SP1

TBittner — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:00:00 GMT

After applying E2010 SP1 iPhone users may not be able to view the content of incoming messages in their Inboxes, and when they try to open a message, they get an error that this message has not been downloaded from the server.

Also OWA Premium users may not be able to reply or forward a message. They may see the following error in OWA:

‘An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled. Exception type: System.ArgumentException, Exception message: imceaDomain must be a valid domain name.’

And POP3/IMAP4 users may also not be able to retrieve incoming mail.

The issues are caused by non-standard domain names. Verify that there is one domain marked as ‘Default’ and it's DomainName and Name values are valid domain names, and e.g. don’t have a space within the domain name.
