I also find it interesting that the MS article says “To install the database update for Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Enterprise Edition, type the following command: OCS2009-DBUpgrade.msi POOLNAME=PoolnameWhere Poolname is the Enterprise Edition Pool name” Considering you there are two enterprise pools, usually one for directors and one for other front end servers, which one should the update be applied to?

I followed Brians initial steps to disable UAC, reboot, install the DB update, reboot, and all ok now (thanks Brian!!). Very annoying MS provides a neat tool to do all updates in one go but leaves out a pre-req DB update! Knew it was too good to be true

Hey Tom. Quick question: Do you know a good way to pre-set Access Levels for users migrated to OCS from LCS 2005? After migrating users, we are finding that their previous contacts are moved over, but are not given the correct “Access Level” to view their status. The end result is every user having to manually set Access Levels for all old contacts to “Company”. Is there an easier way to automate this, either server-side or via GPO’s?

I was able to get this resolved. When I attempted to run the OCS2009-DBUpgrade.msi package it would fail. I disabled UAC, rebooted and the update installed just fine. After another reboot still no go on the Front End service. Then installed the hotfix for KB967831: http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=967831&kbln=en-us. After another reboot my issue was resolved! Whew!

I don’t have a snapshot to revert to and I can’t uninstall update 983472. I am stuck. Looks like I’ll need to reinstall…

Not nice. Again Microsoft made a crappy update that doesn’t check for essential prerequisites. One would expect that a cumulative update exe file will check for prerequisites. For me the uninstall of 983472 failed so now I’m stuck.

Had the same issue after install this in the wrong order even though on the MS site it listed the last step as the DB upgrade.

To fix it find the update 983472 and uninstall it from add\remove programs, reboot, run the db tool, then run the CU6 installer and reboot...

Has anyone resolved this issue if you have already installed the other updates before the DB update? My wonderful server team applied this patch before contacting me and now the front ends will not start.
