Exchange Server 2013: Installation fails

Migrating SBS 2008 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (no virtualization) and Exchange Server 2013 SP1
(1) ADprep on SBS 2008 went fine
(2) Installed necessary feature for Exchange (website “Part 1: Step-by-Step Exchange 2007 to 2013 Migration”)
A) the first time I installed Exchange 2013, the setup succeeded, however there were several ecp/WinRM errors.
B) restored Windows Server 2012 R2 to the state (2). Removed from AD (ADSI Edit)
… CN=Services; CN=Exchange; CN=First Organization; CN=Exchange Administrator Group; CN=Servers 
delete new Win 2012 server
Run Exchange setup again:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
if ($RoleStartTransportService)
start-SetupService -ServiceName MSExchangeTransport -MaxWaitTimeForRunningState 0:0:40
        " was run: "Service 'MSExchangeTransport' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.".
Checked:
- IPv6 is enabled, but was setup correctly after installing ADDS role)
- Administrators (Group) is a member of the Exch. Trusted Subsystem
Probably there is an AD problem, after the restoration (B) (bare metal) of the Win 2012 server.
Please help!

Hi
the error states that the MSExchangeTransport service failed to start. Can you manually try starting the service and then run the setup again?

    Hi,
    See if deleting the account SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c} in ADUC (you should find it in the Users Container) and then rerun
    setup.exe /preparead helps you solve your problem.

  • Exchange Server 2013 installation error at Step 10/15

    I try to install Exchange Server 2013 on a fresh install of Windows Server 2012.
    Windows Server 2012, have already install on it:
    AD CD
    DNS
    IIS
    Exchange 2013 Prerequisites for Win.Server 2012 like described here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(v=exchg.150).aspx
    And the (winner) error message is:

    Error: Error:

    I search online for a solution and I found many others with same problem but any solution yet. :(
    If anyone can help me I am able to dedicate him my next ode.
    Thank you,
    Adrian

    I am experiencing the same problem except that mine is definitely NOT a domain controller.  The error code indicates that the process is attempting to grant Network Access to the Certificate during Setup, but fails.
    "...Could not grant Network Service access to the certificate"
    Exchange 2013 is being installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 but it is a member server with no domain responsibilities.  Granting rights to the certificate during the Setup process is the root of the problem.
    Here is the complete error comment:

  • Exchange Server 2013 installer will not start or complete

    Hello,
    I am trying to MS Exchange Server onto a Windows Server 2012R2 with Active Directory network. I had started an installation process and it shot out a list of pre-requisites that server need before it can attempt to install. I fulfilled every pre-requisite.
    Rebooted the server. Now whenever I attempt another installation process again. It starts, gathers information, and quits with event log:
    Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Microsoft Exchange Server. Product Version: 15.0.516.32. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Installation success or error status: 0.
    MS Exchange Server is not listed in Programs and Features to even remove, is it a faulty Microsoft Installer? I have already rebooted numerous times to no avail.
    EDIT: Here's a copy of the MSI log, I couldn't find anything to indicate what's going wrong myself, http://pastebin.com/LwCAimuF

    Hi,
    I've downloaded (as per instructions above):
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41994
    Again, the installer repeats the same behavior as before, right now I am running a repair tool on .Net repair tool.
    New log http://pastebin.com/SDynMaDe
    Edit: Looks like there's long list of issues trying to fulfill Exchange Pre Requisite.
    Windows Management Framework 4.0
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40855
    "The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found"
    It would probably be best to re-install Windows Server again

  • Problem In Exchange Server 2013 Installation

    i am Trying to install exchange server for Lab Purpose and it start normal install ,and it stuck in step 8 of 15 at 98% and give error FMS Initialization
    So kindly Give me Proper solution,i have un install each and every things Like DC and agains do the same process but still give problem in 8 of 15 in 98% with FMS.i check on net too but not get a proper solution for its.
    regard Abdul Nasir Afridi

    I think
    Jean-Paul van Ravensberg describes exactly this problem and the solution for it.
    First, uninstall Exchange (from "Programs and Features" in Control Panel). Then, restart and repeat the Exchange 2013 installation without the the malware protection - by default, it is set to be installed, and you need to choose "Yes":

  • Need information about Exchange server 2013 CU5

    Hello,
    Can anyone implemented Exchange Server 2013 CU5. I need feedback about this patch. Basically i will going to deploy this patch after getting best feedback.
    I'm waiting for your feedback.
    Thanks,
    Parvez

    Hello,
    Since the Exchange Server 2013 CU5 just be released, there is no detailed technet article or exchange team blog to verify some issues during installation. But I see a MCC who update a member in a DAG, there is no problem. If there are some issues, you
    can check the setup logs or event logs.
    Based on my known, if your environment meets exchange server 2013 prerequisites, and you follow the exchange server 2013 installation process, there should be problem.
    I recommend you deploy the patch on test environment firstly, and then apply it on production environment.

  • Connecting to Exchange Server 2013 using IMAP command gives authenication error

    Hello All,
    My application (it is a C# code) connects to Microsoft exchange server 2013 using POP3 and IMAP, processes the emails, marks as read and move to particular folder if it is processed successfully else to an different folder.  In this sometimes,
    I am getting authentication failed error from IMAP however same mail is processed when it is executed next time. Few times it is processed with out error. I am not sure what is causing this issue.We are connecting to IMAP using tcpIMAP command.
    This is the same application which we used with exchange server 2010 now we are upgrading to exchange server 2013. I have verified that the setting of exchange 2010 and 2013 are the same.
    To verify the IMAP command I created a sample application using C# which will try to connect to IMAP service and log in to exchange server 2013; it fails to authenticate the user after connecting for few times and then it starts to authenticate
    successfully then again fails for few times and then authenticates. I am not sure why this is happening. 
    Please suggest how can I resolve this.
    Thank you, Santha

    Since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard I've also moved from Entourage 2008 to Mail, iCal & Addressbook with the new Exchange support.
    My company exchange server is Exchange 2007.
    Mail works fine except the occasional Mail crash.
    iCal worked fine the first two days and then it came with an error the it cannot connect to the Exchange server and asks me to type my email address again. Doesn't work so I need to put my exchange calendar in iCal in offline. But now there is no syncing with the Echange server.
    This only occurs when I add a meeting request in iCal.
    My Exchange administrator has reset my mailbox on the Exchange server.
    This helped for about 4 hours. Now it's the same problem.
    I have a feeling the when you setup your exchange account in Mail it uses different settings for Mail and iCal with the autoconfig.
    Anybody has a solution? My Exchange admin cannot find any problems on his side. Do I need to make changes on my iCal client or do we need to wait for OS 10.6.1 ?

  • Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Standard: Installation failing can't progress

    I'm trying to install Exchange Server 2013 and I keep getting this error and I am unable to progress, I can't find any support on the issue and frankly I don't want to/can't afford to spend $500 to ask Microsoft for technical support (what kind of racket
    do they think they're running?).

    Yet, I see no PushNotifications virtual directory or anything remotely related to that on IIS or in the inetpub folders and files. If I try to resume the set-up after this error I get:

  • Issues trying to recover failed Exchange Server 2013 in a DAG

    Having several issues attempting to recover a failed Exchange Server 2013. To start out, the failed server was mounted on a virtual server using hyper-v. The virtual server failed due to some hard drive partition issues and would no longer boot. As there
    really was no purpose to having Exchange on a Virtual Server I decided to rename the host to the same name as the virtual server. I reset the name in AD and proceeded to rename the server. Then made sure all the necessary things were installed and proceeded
    to do a recovery installation. I neglected to properly delete the old databases belonging to that server. I simply deleted the files off the hard drive instead of doing it properly. I should mention this is a two node plus witness server installation.Now,
    it seems I cannot delete the former server in either ECP or command line. I have attempted to clean up the mess with the old databases but there is one that was mounted only on the failed server that I cannot remove. It seems until I can remove that, I cannot
    remove the failed server from the DAG and do a recovery install. The steps shown in the tech net articles to remove a failed database have also failed. At this point I am wondering if I should just give up on the server name and do an install on a new server
    name or if someone can give me some information on how to clean up the mess, that would be better I am sure. Here is a list of the things I have tried.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876880(v=exchg.150).aspx and in this article, the item mentioned is not in ADSIedit.

  • Exchange Server 2013 on Srvr2012r2 fails on preinstall

    During the preinstall of the Exchange server 2013 on virtual Server 2012r2 the installation fails at the second step of the preinstall. I tried the wizard and it also fails station the user does not have the correct rights.
    This was probably caused by myself.  When I first installed the Exchange I did not install the client and mailbox items.  When I found out this was an error I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall.

  • Exchange Server 2013: no send/receive after failed CU1- CU2 and machine restore

    Hi!
    For several reasons, I decided to fully restore my Exchange Server 2013 machine today.
    The machine is virtualized on Hyper-V.
    I rebooted the server and recovered from backup and Exchange seems to be working fine. However, I cannot receive or send mail. If I try to send a message it goes to the "drafts" folder. OWA and EMC is working. I can not send mail between interna mailboxes
    either. Outlook says disconnected.
    When running the Exhchange Connectivity Analyzer, I get the following:
    - Receive: Connection was successful but no banner was received.
    - Send: Successfull. However when trying to send mail to external mailbox it does not reach that mailbox.
    Mailflow was working perfectly at the time of the backup.
    Help is much appreciated!
    UPDATE 1: When telnet on local server i get SMTP banner. But not on other computers in same subnet.

    OK. After fiddeling around in ADSIedit and trying to rebuild my Exchange environment I ended ut breaking it completely.
    I then restored both my DC (Exchange schema CU2) and my EX (Exchange schema CU1). Scema Versions where the inconsistent as stated.
    Then I uninstalled the KB2874216 successfully. After that i tried to Upgrade Exchange to CU2. The Upgrade failed at Mailbox Role: Mailbox Service With error Message:
    The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
              if (($RoleIsDatacenter -ne $true) -and ($RoleIsDatacenterDedicated -ne $true))

                      # No RetentionPolicy assigned to E-Discovery arbitration mailbox currently, we need to set it here.
                      # This can be remove after BUG(O15#2555914) is fixed.

                else
                  write-exchangesetuplog -info "Skipping creating Discovery Arbitration Mailbox because of insufficient permission."
            " was run: "Database is mandatory on UserMailbox. Property Name: Database".
    Seems the problem was corrupted arbitrary system mailboxes from previous Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 migration.
    The solution for me was to restore the corrupted arbitrary mailboxes using this
    LINK. It is for 2010 but Works on 2013.
    I am now currently on Exchange CU2 on both my EX server and on my DC. Now I have to check mail flow and will report back.

    Hi livesayed,
    According to your description, we cannot get the key of this question.
    Would you please help to collect related event log or setup log? It’s more helpful for further troubleshooting.
    Besides, I find an similar thread about Exchange 2013 CU2 upgrade to CU3 Failed at Front End Transport Service, for your reference:
