Cannot install Exchange Server 2013 SP1 on Server 2012

It was quite a challenge to clear the errors generated by a stock Windows 2012 install (I think that Exchange installer should install prerequisites for me, not provide cryptic error messages). Once they were cleared however the actual install fails with
this error:
Error:The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); Install-ExchangeCertificate -WebSiteName "Exchange Back End" -services "IIS, POP, IMAP" -DomainController $RoleDomainController -InstallInTrustedRootCAIfSelfSigned $true if ($RoleIsDatacenter -ne $true -And $RoleIsPartnerHosted -ne $true) { Install-AuthCertificate -DomainController $RoleDomainController } " was run: "Could not grant Network Service access to the certificate with thumbprint 3EF254C303E213FA3673CCF9B134BEC43D6C5E0F because a cryptographic exception was thrown.".
I could work on it, but first I now need to remove the partial install. Any attempts I've tried have all ended with the above error as well. How can I clean up the failed install so I can try again?

Why not start fresh with Windows 2012 R2?

Cannot install Exchange server 2013

hey,
I'm trying to install exchange server 2013 on windows server 2012 and I getting this error :
One or more servers in the existing organization are running Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003. Installation can't proceed until all Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 servers are removed.
Warning:
Cannot find the Recipient Update Service responsible for domain 'DC=Nesstr,DC=com'. New and existing users may not be properly Exchange-enabled.
Now, I think before I got here there was exchange server 2003 in virtual machine but I cant find the vm, probably someone has deleted the vm without uninstall the exchange properly and maybe this is the problem.
anyone suggestion what to do next ?
best Regards,
Idan keshet

Hi Idan,
We need to do these steps to connect to Configuration:
1. Open ADSI Edit.
2. Right-click ADSI Edit, select Connect to… .
3. In Connection Point, Select a well known Naming Context > Configuration.
4. Click OK.

After installing Project Server 2013 (without updating SharePoint Server 2013 SP1))

I am facing the problem while opening project web app. I configured the SharePoint 2013 and project server 2013. Here is the detail what I performed the steps:
OS Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint server 2013 version
15.0.4420.1017, Project Server 2013 version
15.0.4454.1000. SharePoint configured and running successfully. After project web app site provisioning successfully completed. I got the below error.
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WebParts.PWAPart' from assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' cannot reduce access.
I run this psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force. But still getting same error.
Previous steps:
Earlier I had also tried to install SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 "3823428". After the installation SP1 some of sharePoint site features suddenly stopped e.g: Cannot browse "Service Applications -->
Manage service applications" option even after re-start the server. This was previous error after upgrading SP1
"Method 'get_IsClientValid' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices,
Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation"
Anyone can help me!!! Thanks...
Faisal Numan

hello,
For SP2013 and PS2013 to work properly on Windows Server 2012 R2 you need to use the SP1 install media for both, download SharePoint 2013 with SP1 and Project Server 2013 with SP1

What is the order for upgrading exchange server 2013 SP1 servers to CU7?

Hi All
I am planning to upgrade my exchange server 2013 SP1CU4 to CU7 . As per my understanding , we always proceed with the CAS servers and then the Mailbox Servers during up-gradation.
But I am confused now , since I have seen articles stating , that the Mailbox servers has to be upgraded first and then the CAS servers in exchange 2013.
What will be the correct order . My environment consists of 2 Mailbox servers in DAG and 2 CAS servers (Exchange server 2013 SP1)
Thanks in Advance .
Joyso Senior Messaging Admin

Hi Joyso,
The Microsoft recommendation regarding the order in which the Exchange 2013 server roles should be installed or Upgraded is Mailbox and then CAS.
It makes sense as the CAS Role is a stateless server and all major components are held by the Mailbox Role.
Until a 2013 mailbox server comes online, the CAS server is pretty much useless. Hence, the recommended installation order in 2013 is the reverse of 2010 – Mailbox role first & then CAS
Note: If your DAG have more nodes, you need first upgrade all non-PAM nodes and then upgrade PAM node.
Some References:
The recommendation from the Product Group is to install Exchange 2013 Preview Mailbox Role first, and then the
CAS role.
If you're separating your server roles, we recommend installing the Mailbox server role first.
Upgrade your Exchange 2013 server roles in the required order. First, upgrade Mailbox servers
and then upgrade Client Access servers. -Upgrade DAG Mailbox servers
Exchange 2013 Server Roles Installation Order – Mailbox First:

Strange Exchange name when connecting with Outlook 2013 to Exchange server 2013 SP1

I've setup a test environment with Windows Server standard 2012 R2 and Exchange Server 2013 SP1...
In- and outbound SMTP works fine, as well as connecting with OWA and Mac Outlook client...
Oddly though when setting up an Outlook 2013 connection....it recognizes the email address correctly, but later on can't connect and shows a dialog to enter the server and email account manually....though the profiled fields show something like:
Exchange Server: [email protected]
Mailbox: =SMTP:[email protected]
When I fill in the right fields....it won't connect and falls back to the values above...
Something wrong in the Exchange setup?

Hmm...found aguide here:
http://enterpriseit.co/microsoft-exchange/2013/ssl-certificate-request/
Though it doesn't mention anything that with the self-signed certs it won't allow Outlook 2013 to connect...
So from my point of view Outlook 2013 should be able to connect anyway...as during the connect process you can install the self-signed cert.....so must be something else then...

Problems installing Project Server 2013 SP1

Hi,
I have an issue installing Project Server SP1 (KB2880553). The history of this installation is as follows below:
I have one App Server and one Web Server (test environment)
On February I installed the mistaken SharePoint 2013 SP1, Project Server SP1 and Language Pack SP1 in both servers, followed by SharePoint Config Wizard. No problem here, other than the mistaken SP1's
The current week I've installed SharePoint SP1 (KB2880552) in both servers, followed by SharePoint Config Wizard. No problem here.
Then I installed Project Server SP1 (KB2880553) in both servers, it got installed in both servers apparently, but when I run the SharePoint Config Wizard in the APP server I get the error below and I can't continue:
If I try to install Project Server SP1 in the Web Server it tells me that the product is alteady installed there, if I try to install the Language Pack SP1 KB2880554, it tells me that there is nothing to be installed in that Web server.
If I check the Patch Status in Central Admin, this is what I get regarding the Web server, the APP server is apparently ok:
So the problem is that I can do nothing, as it doesn't allow me to install anything anywhere.
Please, do you know what to do in this case?
Thank you for your help and regards,
José Espases

Hi,
thank you for your answer.
Maicco, I've already tried to follow the links but as I said initially there is nothing that I can install, as you can see in the second picture that I sent before, the KB2880553 is installed partially (last line) but missing/required in other lines, so
when I try to install it again it keeps saying that it has been already installed, but when I execute the Config Wizard it says that it is missing and required.
The Uninstallation/installation is what I try to avoid.
Raymundo, regarding the post http://www.maadarani.com/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=12&mobile=0 it
doesn't work, probably something is missing in the link, please, can you send it again?
Thank you and regards,

Messaging tracking logs filename format changed in Exchange Server 2013 sp1

Hi,
I have noticed that the file name format is changed for exchange server 2013 sp1.
Now it will have hh attached to it like
MSGTRKMSyyyymmddhh-n.log;
MSGTRKMDyyyymmddhh-n.log:
MSGTRKyyyymmddhh-n.log.
So the "hh" will goes from 00 to 23 for single day.
So Lets say at 24 april 2014 first fill is created @7.30 AM, so the first file name will be
MSGTRK2014042400-1.log. Now exchange server will create new file every hour by incrementing hh part of file name. Now the last file i.e
MSGTRK2014042423-1.log will be created on 25 April 2014 at 6.30 AM.
I am not able to understand why exchange server is creating the file with old date on next day ( with 24 April on file name time stamp on 25 April).
And also how it will be decided to create the first file @ 7.30 AM.
Can anyone explain to me about this ? Why it is happening like this?
Thanks
Sandeep Gupta

Hi Sandeep,
This could related to the time difference. What’s the time zone of your server? In my lab, many files in the last day were created in the next day. For example, files in 20140410
were created on 20140411.
Also, as you mentioned, the file name format is as:
MSGTRKMSyyyymmddhh-n.log;
MSGTRKMDyyyymmddhh-n.log:
MSGTRKyyyymmddhh-n.log.
However as I know, the format is like
MSGTRKyyyymmdd-m.log, it will not have “hh”(you mean hours) in the behind and the file is not created every hour but create a new file when the old is full. So please capture some screenshots of the message tracking files
and the date/time information of the file to verify.

Exchange Server 2013 SP1 - Internal Email Flow slowness

Hi Fellows,
I have a brand new implementation of Exchange Server 2013 SP1 with three mailbox servers and 3 CAS servers.
I am facing a considerable slow transportation of email internally. although there are just 3 mailboxes on the infrastructure at the moment.
When a user sends email to himself or other two accounts, delivery takes from 15 seconds to 35 seconds to be delivered.
Experience is same even if the email is sent from OWA, ActiveSync or Outlook.
Header analysis shows the message exchange between mailbox servers is taking time. any clue?
Decreasing Tarpit interval on Mailbox server receive connectors will be helpful?
Network communication, Storage performance, Server performance are all as good as we love to.
Thanks.
J.A

Hello,
When a user send message to a internal user in a AD site, the connector will not be used. I recommend you use message tracking to check the issue occur on server side or transport process. Please use queue viewer to check if there is mail traffic.

Cannot install Exchange 2010 on Win Server 2k8R2

I am working in a Hyper-V lab trying to install Exchange 2010 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. When the installer gets to the Readiness Checks it keeps failing on the Client Access Role prerequisites, and Mailbox Role prerequisites with the following 2 errors:
Unable to read data from the Metabase. Ensure that Microsoft Internet Information Services is installed.
Unable to access the 'Default Web Site' on this computer.
I have checked in Server Manager and IIS is definitely installed.
I opened the IIS Manager, and from there I *can* browse to the Default Web site.
For the 1st message, there is a link to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997645.aspx, but that site doesn't contain any useful information for Exchange 2010.
For the 2nd message, there is a link to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997698.aspx, but I tried that and still get the same error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
James.

Can you make sure that you have installed the pre-requisites for Windows 2008 R2? You may run it again which will install if some components of IIS are missing...

I wonder why the Exchange 2010 installation doesn't just install these features automatically. I guess it's not that hard to let these PS commands run prior to installing Exchange 2010 files.

Hi All,
I sorted out this problem
Actually we have to run these 2 commands in Domain Control, But what i did I just run this
1) setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Command in Domain Control we don't need to run the 2nd command, Because I already try to installed exchange 2013 very first time it success and after some modifications
it gone.
That time it will ask you to provide Organization name, Once you give that it will create the Organization name in Domain control and it will save the settings when
you install first time
Because of this reason It is failing to run these 2 command
Finally what i did I just revert back my Domain control snapshot & Exchange server as well
Then i started freshly Installation in DC and Exchange server 2013 successfully installed

Whole Process will be here

Installing Exchange 2007 on a Windows Server 2008

Hello I am new to the Microsoft forum and I have a quick question and please let me know if im posting my question in the wrong place. Im doing a school project were you have two servers with Windows Server 2008 installed on them. The first server suppose
to have Active directory and domain services followed by dns which I did. The second server which I just found out suppose to have installed Netframework 3.0, Wpa and Desktop experience roles then install Microsoft Exchange 2007. Well my issue is when I try
to install exchange on my second server it keeps giving me a error message saying my Active directory cannot be contacted or may not exist and that my second server has the wrong security credentials. I've taken the steps that Microsoft has advise by checking
my domain. Which I used the command Dcdiag.exe on my first server and it saids the domain is able to be contacted. Also when I joined my second domain I made sure to put the domain name of the first server in all caps followed by /Administrator and my password
and it said welcome to the domain. So has anybody run into that type of error message when trying to install exchange 2007 on a separate server? Lastly forget to include I also have web server IIS installed on the second server as well. Exchange is then asking
for IIS 7.0 ? So any tips or troubleshooting would be helpful since my professor wasn't much a help and I gotta turn this lab stuff in by next week.
thanks gmoney38

Not sure I need to check that through the dns is working far as ive seen in the server manager . Because I remember before I did this one command for the dns and it said something was wrong with the host A record. So I went through the hierarchy of
windows to that file and opened it up through the notepad it showed my loopback ip address 127.0.0.1 and localhost and not my domain name which I choose contoso01.com so from a previous forum I read if you change the localhost name to that domain name
that it would help but im not sure if this would in my case. Thanks for answering my question Mr. Ed but I still need some more help through!
gmoney38 ps plus im using vmware for this project to have the two servers i wonder if this is why im having issues!
