Applies to: Exchange 2010
The Exchange Team has been aware of a problem that impacts the Exchange management tools on servers running Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows 2008 R2 RTM. Windows 2008 R2 SP1 systems do not seem to be impacted.
The symptoms of the problem are:
- Exchange Management Shell does not start
- Exchange Management Console does not start
- There might be a crash in Exchange Mailbox Replication Service
The following events could be logged in the Application event log:
- Event ID: 1023
Source: .NET Runtime
Event ID: 1023
Level: Error
Description: .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.5653 – Fatal Execution Engine Error (000007FEF9216D36) (80131506) - Event ID: 1000
Source: Application Error

UPDATE: The Exchange team has identified the problem and has a solution for customers that were impacted by it.

Thanks for the information Wil; I encountered this issue on Friday, took me a while to figure out what was causing the problem.
Thanks for the find Wil. We have a server that won’t allow me to open the EMC or Powershell, but the thing that made us spot that issue, was that the customer is using Office 2011, and it won’t connect to the exchange server anymore! It comes up with Error 19992.
Hopefully they will sort this out quickly.
Has anyone removed the update, and did you have any issues?
Thanks
Danny
Hi Danny, the Outlook issue might be related to the same update (KB 2449742). Check out this post: http://www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Outlook/3913
However, I haven’t heard from Microsoft yet, if it the Outlook issue is related to this update.
Regarding your question about having removed the update, yes, I’ve successfully removed this update and that solved the issues.
Again, removing a security update should be seen as a last resort, because it could may make your computer/server or network more vulnerable to attacks. Microsoft is working on it to provide a fix soon.
Cheers,
Wil
