Yesterday Microsoft released the first Exchange 2010 rollup, number 1. You can download the update here.

A nice addition is that Blackberry Enterpris Server (BES) is now fully supported with Exchange 2010 Rollup 1.

More details about the update can be found here.

Version 8.0.6362.143 of the console and add-in brings improvements and fixes that include:

• Improvements to text display on PPT slides in recordings
• Users using IE browser with security setting is set to “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” on Vista machines will be able to join meetings successfully
• Custom text displays correctly when meeting scheduled with Outlook Add-In

From the KB articles follow the link to download the new versions:
KB 974251 : Description of the Windows-based Live Meeting 2007 client update package: Sept 2009
KB 974252 : Description of the update for Live Meeting Conferencing Add-in for Outlook: Sept 2009

For those of you who administrate an OCS or LCS environment, please read the following. It seems an issue has come up with a patch that came available during the last patch releases, regarding KB 974571. As described by Doug Deitterick’s blog, it’s recommended to NOT apply this patch. If you install the patch it’s possible your OCS / LCS servers believe they are in an evaluation mode.

You’ll see events like this one :

A solution now is to uninstall the patch.
