Hello
I have an exchange server 2016 15.01.0544.030, how can I upgrade to 19 CU or 18 CU when I try to upgrade, writes can not perform this upgrade because it is not supported. maybe I should run previous upgrades and try to upgrade to 19 CU or 18 CU? I need todo this upgrade becous is risk "HAFNIUM targeting Exchange Servers with 0-day exploits".

Thanks.
Kristina

    @Kael Yao-MSFT
    Steps that I followed:

    Run each step separately:
    Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareSchema
    Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareAD
    Setup.exe /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /PrepareAllDomains

    Then install .net 4.8
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/plan-and-deploy/supportability-matrix?view=exchserver-2019#microsoft-net-framework

    Start insstall CU19 and I got very long error about database mount (Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: Operation failed with message: MapiExceptionDatabaseError: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=1108)

    Then I run these commands, check DB status, and recovery DB.

    eseutil /mh "path of the edb file(For example, C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 1947485730\Mailbox Database 1947485730.edb "

    If the status shows dirty shutdown,

    please run this command to perform a soft recovery first and rerun eseutil /mh to check if the status turns to clean shutdown:

    eseutil /r "path of the edb file"

    If the status is still dirty shutdown, please run this command to perform a hard recovery and rerun eseutil /mh to check the status :

    eseutil /p "path of edb file"

    The DB status turns to clean shutdown. Restart server.

    Then I remove and recreate the discovery mailbox :

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/delete-and-re-create-default-discovery-mailbox-exchange-2013-help

    Then restart server and rerun setup and CU19 setup was finished.

    And finally install the security patch (using cmd as administrator):

    What do you mean "when I try to upgrade, writes can not perform this upgrade because it is not supported." What is the error message exactly and what is the name of the file you are trying to install?

    @Andy David - MVP

    I try install "Exchange2016-KB5000871-x64-en.msi" and I get this text :
    The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows Installer service, becouse the program to be upgrade may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different versions of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."

    I think that some updates are missing. Does the steps you are writting about will help to solve the problem?

    Thanks.
