Error installing windows updates

I recently got stuck patching 1 of 4 recycled servers, and the following URL really saved my cheese.

Exceeded the maximum of 750 objects of type "objtFolder".

Your Microsoft Exchange 2010 server logs the following error:

Event ID: 9646
Type: Error
Source: MSExchangeIS
Description:
Mapi session "/o=First Organization/ou=Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=user"
exceeded the maximum of 500 objects of type "objtFolder".
The number of server-side objects that are allowed by clients is limited to prevent a single client from the exhausting resources on the Exchange server.

To resolve this problem:

1. Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchangeIS
2. Right click ParametersSystem and create New -> Key

3. Enter MaxObjsPerMapiSession and confirm creation of the new sub-key

4. Right click newly created key, create new DWORD value called objtFolder and give it a decimal value bigger than default 500.

5. Create another DWORD value called objtFolderView and give it the same value.

There’s no need to restart Exchange server or even MSExchangeIS service. Give it some time and things will settle down. You might need to restart Outlook client to start synchronising folders again.

Windows poweshell has stopped working

So everyting I opened up the event viewer on my Windows 2008 64 server, I kept getting a popup "windows poweshell has stopped working".

The simple solution was to uninstall KB244972 and reboot the server.
