Issues that are fixed in this update rollup

Issue 1
When you use the Preparation Wizard to perform a health scan, you receive a "Health scan engine error" error. This problem occurs if one or more servers that are listed under the Default-First-Site-Name node do not contain the NTDS Settings node. When this problem occurs, the "System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectoryOperationException" error is logged in the Webs.bpa.Console.log file.

Issue 2
After you enter all the server names on the Plan network settings for the servers page, you enter the IP addresses. If you enter a value that is greater than 255 into any segment of an IP Address field, the Planning Wizard crashes.

Issue 3
This update rollup updates several error messages and troubleshooting instructions in the Windows Essential Business Server Preparation and Planning Wizards.

Issue 4
You remove Active Directory Domain Services from a domain controller so that it is now a member server. Then, you use a different host name to install Active Directory Domain Services on the same member server. When you run the Preparation Wizard, the WEBS.BPA.Console.exe executable cannot run.

Issue 5
You install the Microsoft Exchange 2007 Edge Transport role on a stand-alone server that is not joined to a domain. In this situation, you cannot run the Preparation Wizard.
