Cumulative Update Setup Changes

There are two important changes starting with Exchange Server 2019 CU11 and higher.

The previous /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms switch will not work. You now must use one of these switches for unattended and scripted installs:

  • /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms_DiagnosticDataON
  • /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms_DiagnosticDataOFF

The IIS URL Rewrite module is now a prerequisite for Exchange Server installation. This must be installed separately and is not installed as part of Exchange Setup (you need the x64 MSI version). Please note that app pools are restarted as a part of the IIS Rewrite module installation, and service might be disrupted.

Known issues in Cumulative Update 11

In multidomain Active Directory forests in which Exchange is installed or has been prepared previously by using the /PrepareDomain option in Setup, this action must be completed after the /PrepareAD command for this cumulative update has been completed and the changes are replicated to all domains. Setup will try to run the /PrepareAD command during the first server installation. Installation will finish only if the user who initiated Setup has the appropriate permissions.

    I never had issues upgrading up until CU7. SetupAssistant.ps1 is saying the following :
    Do the following action plan:

    Look at the action plan from ‘Virtual Directory Configuration’ test from above.

    If this doesn’t resolve your issues, please let us know at ExToolsFeedback@microsoft.com

    But since installation has failed I cannot start EMS anymore .
    Anything you can do to help. Thank you
