Hi, This happens when IPv6 is unchecked in the TCP/IP properties of the NIC, but not disabled fully in registry. This issue was fixed in the previous version rollups, but is now back with 2010 SP1 RTM. Regards. Shafaquat Ali.

Hi Shafaquat - IPv6 is checked in the TCP/IP properties of the NIC and gets an IP address automatically - should i disable it or enter a static IP address? not sure how it would make a difference though. thanks, Rhys.

Hi Try to disable it through the registry http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852 Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi, Yes agreed with Mr. Jonas try to disable it from registry. Regards. Shafaquat Ali.M.C.I.T.P Exchange 2007/2010, M.C.I.T.P Windows Server 2008, M.C.T.S OCS Server 2007 R2, URL: http://blog.WhatDoUC.net Phone: +923008210320

hi both, thanks for that but i cant edit the registry setting ive created as per the ms support article - i cant enter 0x10 in as a value - it wont let me enter 'x'.

Hi, Than just disable the IPv6 and reboot the system. Regards. Shafaquat Ali.M.C.I.T.P Exchange 2007/2010, M.C.I.T.P Windows Server 2008, M.C.T.S OCS Server 2007 R2, URL: http://blog.WhatDoUC.net Phone: +923008210320

hi guys, disabling IPv6, rebooting and then running the install did not work. in the registry all roles show up as configured 14.1.218.15 in the configured and unpacked entries, which is SP1, but the mailbox role shows as configured version 14.0.639.21 and unpacked as 14.1.218.15 so does this mean that all of the other roles have successfully upgraded to SP1 but the mailbox role is still a version behind? thanks, Rhys.

Yes, UnpackedVersion and ConfiguredVersion values must match (Reference) [09/23/2010 08:31:15.0158] [2] Processing object "walescoop.com/Users/DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}".

hi guys, the issue was to do with the msexchhomeservername, which was set to the previous server name before i had to do a reinstall of exchange. changing that to the current server name resulted in SP1 installing and the configured and unpacked versions now match, so thanks a lot for your help, couldnt have done it without your knowledge Rhys.
