Exchange 2010 Error: A reboot from a previous installation is pending.

If you are seeing this error while trying to apply an Exchange SP or RU and you have restarted here's a quick fix for it:

**MAKE SURE YOU RESTART FIRST JUST TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT CLEARING**

Delete the  below key from the registry:
 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations

After this you will be able to continue your service pack install.

Good luck.


Exchange SP2 Install Error: This Server Role Can't Be Installed Because the Following Roles...

Mailbox role
Error: this server role can't be installed because the following roles aren't current: AdminToolsRole MailboxRole
Here's the fix for it:
Open REGEDIT
1. HKLM\Software\ExchangeServer\V14\AdminTools\ConfiguredVersion
Change ConfiguredVersion from 14.1.218.5 to 14.2.247.5

2. Repeat this process for the other keys labeled TRANSPORTROLE or MAILBOX role as needed.  The different versions on those numbers are the source of the problem.

3.  Restart server and then start Exchange 2010 SP2 setup again.


Good luck!
