Exchange 2013 SP1 Install on W2K12R2 Pre-requisite fail

I am tryinig to install SP1 over CU3 for Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2. During the Readiness Checks - Configuring Prerequisites it gets to 90% and then throws up the following error:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
$keyPath = "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server";
if (!(Get-Item $keyPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
New-Item $keyPath -Force

if (Get-Service WMSVC* | ?{$_.Name -eq 'WMSVC'})
Set-Service WMSVC -StartupType Automatic
Stop-SetupService -ServiceName WMSVC;
Start-SetupService -ServiceName WMSVC
" was run: "Service 'WMSVC' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.".
I've tried rebooting the Exchange Server, but get the same message.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

New Exchange 2013 SP1 install, can't get ECP to display

Hi all,
I stood up a new exchange 2013 environment in my lab running on Server 2012. Everything looks like it should be working. All services running, no errors in the event log, I'm able to get into ECS. When I try and launch the ECP, it spins
for a little bit then I get a page can't be displayed. I've checked that exchange sees it:
I'm stumped. I've been scouring forums and can't pinpoint the issue. I know I could just blow my lab away and try to re-install from scratch but I'm so close to getting this stood up and don't want to just give up. Plus, I'm curious as
to what the cause is and how it's tied into Exchange functionality.
Also, when I try to browse to OWA, the page can't be displayed as well. I've tried to disable Enhanced IE security to no avail.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please use the https://localhost/ecp URL to logon from the local CAS server and check if you can access EAC.
What's more, I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2013, when I use
https://exc2013cas.contoso.com/ecp to logon EAC, the same error occurs. But when I use
https://exc2013cas/ecp to logon, EAC works well. In your case, I recommend you use the
https://skunkms1/ecp URL to logon EAC and check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Hello,
Please make sure you do exchange server upgrading or a clean exchange 2013 installation. If you do a upgrading, please refer to the similar thread to assign a database to the arbitration mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}".
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/239cb4a6-4a07-4b9a-800c-974573bbff32/error-installing-step-12-mailbox-role-service-on-exchange-2013-cu2?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
Please make sure you have these permission "Schema Admins, Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins" to install exchange 2013 server.
If this is a clean exchange 2013 installation, please try to recreate the system mailbox to check the result.

Exchange 2013 SP1 database missing?? New install of Exchange 2007 co-exist

Hi all,
Finally got Exchange 2013 SP1 installed except I am not so sure I have a database. This is installed on a Server 2008 system and is co-existing with Exchange 2007.
When I go to SERVERS and DATABASES I don't have anything listed. When I click SERVERS on the left hand pane and SERVERS at the top I see both servers, 2007 and 2013. But when I double click my new Exchange Server 2013 name I get the error:
The operation couldn't be performed because object '*\ExchangeServerName' couldn't be found on 'FirstDCName.mydomain.com'
Why would I get this error? The install itself was problematic so I am concerned something is broke.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Firstly, I recommend you check if the server name "*\ExchangeServerName" exists on DC via ADUC (select Computers).
Secondly, please run the get-exchangeserver | fl name cmdlet to check your exchange server name.
And then please check the exchange setup log to check if the exchange 2013 server is installed successfully. If not, please check if there is any error in setup log.

Exchange 2013 SP1 Readiness Checks: No Exchange 2007 server detected

Hi there,
We are planning to upgrade our current Exchange 2007 server with the new Exchange 2013 SP1. I have been following Exchange Server Deployment Assistant to assist me with this task. Only schema update (setup /PrepareSchema) had been done so
far. I didn’t run setup /PrepareAD command manually because I wasn’t sure if I need to provide ‘Organisation Name’ with it or not?! I have installed all of the prerequisites as noted in the Microsoft documentation.
Now, I am a bit confuse with the ‘Readiness Checks’ page during graphical user installation of Exchange 2013 SP1 setup on Windows 2012 R2. Windows 2012 R2 server has all available updates applied.
===
Warning:
Setup will prepare the organization for Exchange 2013 by using 'Setup /PrepareAD'. No Exchange 2010 server roles have been detected in this topology. After this operation, you will not be able to install any Exchange 2010 servers.
For more information, visit: http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.NoE14ServerWarning.aspx
===
I get the message why setup wants to run preparation for the Ex2013 with the ‘Setup /PrepareAD’. But, why ‘No Exchange 2010 server role have been detected in this topology’?! Ok, in my case setup doesn’t detect Exchange 2007 server. Is that ok to proceed
with the installation or something else needs to be done first?
Thanks in advance.

I need Exchange guru advice here please. Since we already have Exchange 2007 SP3 RU 10 in our Windows 2008R2 Active Directory domain here I need to be 100% confident that pushing Exchange 2013 SP1 “Install” will not override our existing Ex2007 environment.
That would be a huge disaster!
Microsoft is saying that: “Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Setup displayed this warning because
no Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2007 server roles exist in the organization.”
http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.NoE14ServerWarning.aspx
Ok, I get the message about if I continue with Exchange Server 2013 installation, I won’t be able to add Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 servers to the organization at a future date..., and why would I need to do that anyway?!
Microsoft wording about “some solutions may require the use...” are very confusing since we will require to consider “Coexistence or migration requirements"
Perhaps, before running Exchange 2013 SP1 setup I need to run setup for preparing AD without “Organisation Name” parameter?! Something like this:
setup /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Seemingly successful install of Exchange 2013 SP1 turns into many errors in event logs after upgrade to CU7

I have a new Exchange 2013 server with plans to migrate from my current Exchange 2007 Server.
I installed Exchange 2013 SP1 and the only errors I saw in the event log seemed to be long standing known issues that did not indicate an actual problem (based on what I read online).
I updated to CU7 and now lots of errors have appeared (although the old ones seem to have been fixed so I have that going for me).
Currently the Exchange 2013 server is not in use and clients are still hitting the 2007 server.
Issue 1)
After each reboot I get a Kernel-EventTracing 2 error. I cannot find anything on this on the internet so I have no idea what it is.
Session "FastDocTracingSession" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
I did read other accounts of this error with a different name in the quotes but still can’t tell what this is or where it is coming from.
Issue 2)
I am still getting 5 MSExchange Common 106 errors even after reregistering all of the perf counters per this page:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2870416?wa=wsignin1.0
One of the perf counters fails to register using the script from the link above.

But that one seems unrelated to the ones that still throw errors.
Three of the remaining five errors are (the forum is removing my spacing between the error text so it looks like a wall of text - sorry):

I appear to have some issues related to the healthmailboxes.
I get MSExchangeTransport 1025 errors for multiple healthmailboxes.

lookup for the sender address returned validation errors. Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProviderError
I reran setup /prepareAD to try and remedy this but I am still getting some.
Issue 4)
I am getting an MSExchange RBAC 74 error.
(Process w3wp.exe, PID 984) Connection leak detected for key <my domain>.local/Admins/Administrator in Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Authorization.WSManBudgetManager class. Leaked Value 1.
Issue 5)
I am getting MSExchange Assistants 9042 warnings on both databases.
Service MSExchangeMailboxAssistants. Probe Time Based Assistant for database Database02 (c83dbd91-7cc4-4412-912e-1b87ca6eb0ab) is exiting a work cycle. No mailboxes were successfully processed. 2 mailboxes were skipped due to errors. 0 mailboxes were
skipped due to failure to open a store session. 0 mailboxes were retried. There are 0 mailboxes in this database remaining to be processed.
Some research suggested this may be related to deleted mailboxes however I have never had any actual user mailboxes on this server.
If they are healthmailboxes or arbitration mailboxes that might make sense but I am unsure of what to do on this.
Issue 6)
At boot I am getting an MSExchange ActiveSync warning 1033
The setting SupportedIPMTypes in the Web.Config file was missing.
Using default value of System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String].
I don't know why but this forum is removing some of my spacing that would make parts of this easier to read.

Hi Eric
Yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled Exchange 2013 CU7 for the 3<sup>rd</sup> time.
I realize you said one issue per forum thread but since I already started this thread with many issues I will at least post what I have discovered on them in case someone finds their way here from a web search.
I have an existing Exchange 2007 server in the environment so I am unable to create email address policies that are defined by “recipient container”.
If I try and do so I get “You can't specify the recipient container because legacy servers are detected.”
So I cannot create a normal email address policy and restrict it to an OU without resorting to some fancy filtering.
Instead what I have done is use PS to modify extensionAttribute1 (otherwise known as Custom Attribute 1 to exchange) for all of my users.
I then applied an address policy to them and gave it the highest priority.
Then I set a default email address policy for the entire organization.
After reinstalling Exchange all of my system mailboxes were created with the internal domain name.
So issue number 3 above has not come up.
For issue number one above I have created a new thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/7eb12b89-ae9b-46b2-bd34-e50cd52a4c15/microsoftwindowskerneleventtracing-error-2-happens-twice-at-boot-ex2013cu7?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
For issue number four I have posted to this existing thread where there is so far no resolution:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/2343730c-7303-4067-ae1a-b106cffc3583/exchange-error-id-74-connection-leak-detected-for-key?forum=exchangesvradmin
Issue number Five I have managed to recreate and get rid of in more than one way.
If I create a new database in ECP and set the database and log paths where I want, then this error will appear.
If I create the database in the default location and then use EMS to move it and set the log path, then the error will not appear.
The error will also appear (along with other errors) if I delete the health mailboxes and let them get recreated by restarting the server or the Health Manager service.
If I then go and set the retention period for deleted mailboxes to 0 days and wait a little while, these will all go away.
So my off hand guess is that these are caused by orphaned system mailboxes.
For issue number six I have posted to this existing thread where there is so far no resolution:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/dff62411-fad8-4d0c-9bdb-037374644845/event-1033-msexchangeactivesync-warning?forum=exchangesvrmobility
So for the remainder of this thread we can try and tackle issue number two which is the perf counters.
The exact same 5 perf counter were coming up and this had been true each time I have uninstalled and reinstalled Exchange 2013CU7.
Actually to be more accurate a LOT of perf counter errors come up after the initial install, but reloading the perf counters using the script I posted above reduces it to the same five.
Using all of your suggestions so far has not removed these 5 remaining errors either. Since there is no discernible impact other than these errors at boot I am not seriously bothered by them but as will all event log errors, I would prefer
to make them go away if possible.

Cannot install Windows Exchange 2013 SP1 64x non-checked build

Hello every one.
I have a problem to setup a lab asigment for school.
I have 2 Windows 2012 standard server
1e AD, DNS, IIS
2e Exchange 2013 SP1 64x
i prepared AD and installed al the features needed for AD and the Exchange server.
But when i run the readines check before i install Exchange 2013 i get to following warning
Warning:
A checked build of the operating system is installed. This can cause system instability issues including crashes, hangs, and other performance problems. It's highly recommended
that the operating system be reinstalled with a non-checked build.
For more information, visit: http:// technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.OSCheckedBuild.aspx
I cant find out what to do, thear is no Boot.ini file in Windows server 2012, any one any idea's to solve this problem
Thanks for the help,
Greatings,

Hi,
Agree with Ed. A checked build Windows is used for debug. Before installing Exchange 2013, please make sure that you use a free build. I'm afraid that you need to reinstall the OS.
What's more, you can refer the following screenshot to determine which Windows build is running. Generally, it should be Free build.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

Installing Exchange 2013 SP1 - Errors MSExchange ADAccess & MSExchange Common

I tried to install Exchange using rdp connection and the installation media was mapped on my local computer. After I copied it to server itself, everything started to work and now I am able to send emails.

Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Install on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am trying to install Exchange 2013 SP1 onto a Windows Server 2012 R2. I get an error message that the operating system is not supported. I have installed all the prerequisite.

Does that mean that you can't install Exchange 2013 Sp1 with a Remote Desktop Role together included with Server 2012 R2?
Or is it possible to restore the Remote Desktop Role afterwards?
You can't install any build of Exchange 2013 on any server that has the RDS Role installed. So in other words, this is not a "limitation" with Exchange 2013 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

Lync integration not working after Exchange 2013 SP1 is installed...

Hi,
I have two Exchange 2013 servers running and everything is fine, almost.
The problem is that on the first server we had OWA with Lync integration working before installing SP1, but after the installation of SP1, it doesn't Work any more.
The second server was installed with SP1 from the start, but we can't get the Lync integration to Work on this one either..
When we log in to OWA, it just starts to sign in but then says "there was a problem signing in, if this continues please contact your helpdesk"
I have checked the Exchange server for events, and i can see the event ID 112 everytime i recycle the Application Pool, so there are some connection between Exchange and Lync..
Have any of you Guys seen or experienced any thing like this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kenneth

Hi,
I recommend that you refer to the following article to troubleshoot the issue:
Troubleshooting tips for Exchange 2013 OWA IM Integration to Lync 2013
This post describes how to configure Exchange 2013 OWA to have IM integration to Lync 2013. Here I would like to give some troubleshooting tips in case you can't get the integration to work.
In addition, here is a similar thread for your reference:
Lync 2013 with Exchange 2013 SP1 OWA integration failed
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Exchange 2013 SP1 Installation Errors I Cannot Resolve

Good Afternoon All -
Note: I updated this post an hour after posting. Still no solution, but please see updated info at end of this post)
I'm trying to introduce Exchange into an existing, small environment. The server I'm trying to install it onto is an SBS 2011 server (single server.) Even though SBS comes with Exchange, I found out that it's installation was corrupted and someone
had attempted to uninstall it before. Yes, it's being installed onto a server with a DC. I considered creating a Hyper-V VM on the server for Exchange, but thought it may be better to try to install directly onto server instead.
Before I started, I made sure all Exchange data had been removed. I checked for and deleted (if present) all Exchange-related objects in ADSI, ADU&C, files, and registry entries.
When I try to install Exchange 2013 SP1, I get the below errors. I know that some are easily resolved by installing pre-requisites - however - others aren't - especially the pending reboot one. I've restarted the server many times when making
changes or applying various updates and still get flagged to restart during installation. I've tried the SBS 2011 repair disc as well, but had many issues with it. In all honesty, the whole server needs to be wiped and re-installed, but
cannot do at this point.
Besides the errors below, I've zipped up the ExchangeSetupLogs folder and placed them in the link below. Also below are system specs. The only edit I made in them is a find/replace for server and domain name.
ExchangeSetupLogs Folder
System Specs
Xeon E31270 3.4Ghz
16gb RAM
Windows Server 2011 SBS x64 (Domain Controller Role Installed & Used)
C:\ - RAID 1 = 500gb
D:\ - SATA HDD = 320gb
E:\ - SATA HDD = 320GB
Should I perhaps try to install to a VM on the server or think that would use too many unnecessary resources?
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!

Exchange 2013 SP1 readiness check failing

Trying to install our first Exchange 2013 SP1 server on Windows 2012 R2 in our datacentre, the readiness check fails with:
Error:
The Active Directory schema isn't up-to-date, and this user account isn't a member of the 'Schema Admins' and/or 'Enterprise Admins' groups.
For more information, visit: http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.SchemaUpdateRequired.aspx
There are many more errors relating to Enterprise admin rights etc.
Please note that:
My account is Domain admin, Schema admin and Enterprise admin member, it always has been.
I tried the built-in AD Administrator which of course is part of the groups as well, no difference.
Active Directory is at 2008 R2 for domain and forest functional levels.
I tried rejoining the new Exchange designated server to the domain
I've installed RSAT-ADDS, the Managed API 4.0 and all the other windows roles via powershell
There is a local domain controller that is a global catalog server on the new Exchange server subnet
I tried running the Exchange Setup on a different server on the same subnet as where the active 2010 Exchange server resides as well as the FSMO AD role holder resides, this works fine. I even did the AD prep from there no problem, that made no difference
on the datacentre server
AD replicates fine between the FSMO role holder and the Datacentre (no errors in dcdiag or repadmin /showrepl)
This error is in the event log:
The description for Event ID 4027 from source MSExchange ADAccess cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
ExSetupUI.exe

the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

So I decided to re-install the OS, worked perfectly now. Only difference from before would be:
SCCM hasn't pushed SCEP 2012 to the new build of the same server yet
The original server was installed in a different AD site and then it was physically mode and reassigned to an new AD site and subnet
I might have installed the pre-reqs in a slightly different order (RSAT-ADDS, all the IIS etc things via powershell
and then the UCM API 4.0. (saw few comments that the order of how you install them matters in other forums).
10 or so Microsoft Windows updates haven't installed on the new OS build yet.
Other than that, its identical. But if its not broken don't fix it, perhaps the above can help someone else though.

Upgrade of Integation Services (Windows 2012 R2) on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG fails

Here is the scenario:
Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster). (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
Services upgrade.
Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
upgrade.
Thanks

Exchange 2013 SP1 setup fails at prerequisite Analysis

I installed a completely new server network with Hyper-v 2012R2
I installed two virtual 2012R2 servers: DC01 as the Domain Controller of "testdomain.local" and EX01 as the Exchange server.
EX01 is joined the domain "testdomain" from DC01
I log in on EX01 with an in AD created testdomain\exadmin account who is member of domain admins, enterprise admins, schema admins, administrators and group policy creator owners.

I can connect with the Active Directory Sites and Domains and other applets to the AD. So Why these errors???
HELP!

Manu van Winkel

Hi, thanks for the answer.
I restarted the server and did the "run as administrator": same result.
The first errormessage in the exchangesetup.log is:
[ERROR] Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Active Directory server is not available. Error message: Active directory response: The LDAP server is unavailable. See the Exchange setup log for more information
on this error.
When I run dcdiag /s:DC01 from EX01 it passes all tests except:
DFSREvent "The RPC server is unavailable"
KccEvent "The RPC server is unavailable."
SystemLog "The RPC server is unavailable."
Could these be of any influence?
Running dcdiag on DC01 passes all tests.
The only thing I changed after setting up DC01, was changing the fixed IP-adres from 192.168.25.3 to 192.168.25.2, but I ran ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns and dcdiag /fix afterwards.
The only roles installed on DC01 are AD DS (I tried installing exchange before and after adding the AD DS role), AD, DNS, DHCP and Fileservices
I don't know where to look anymore....
