Running setup.exe for Exchange 2013 does nothing

Hi All,
Unable to find this issue anywhere else, please excuse if it's a duplicate of another issue.
Basically, I have a new 2008 R2 server setup, added it to a domain, and want to install Exchange 2013 on this new server. There are no Exchange servers anywhere on the domain.
The server is fully up to date, including .Net 4, and looking for updates results in zero new updates found.
When I run setup.exe for Exchange 2013, a command prompt appears for less than a second, then closes, then nothing else happens.
Did a fresh reboot before trying to install, and after waiting about 20 minutes to see if anything happened after the vanishing command prompt, rebooted again, tried again, same result.
There is nothing called Exchange anywhere on the server that I can find, no setup logs or anything, and I am totally stumped.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Michael

Hello,
Exchange 2013 need to be installed on windows server 2008 R2 SP1. If you use windows server 2008 R2 SP1, I sugegst you check if there is any exchange server via ADSIEDIT.

Running setup.exe for v10.1.3.1-to-v10.1.3.4 before or after DB-sql-update?

When I want to update an v10.1.3.1 SoaSuite to v10.1.3.4 I have to do 2 main things:
a) updating the SoaSuite installation itself and
b) updating the Oracle-DB-DB tables
What do I have to do at first:
runing setup.exe (=a) or applying table updates (=b)?
Or is this equal?
Peter

is the sql script there for updating your own tables or tables of the soa suite repository (esb/bpel/etc) ?
if it's the first, then those 2 won't have much to do with each other.
if it's the second then the db scripts are post-installation steps, so you first need to apply the patch and after that execute the sql scripts

Best Practice Analyzer for Exchange 2013

Greetings,
I have upgraded the messaging infrastructure from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
I want to test the Health of the system through ExBPA for Exchange 2013.
But i don't find any setup for Exchange 2013 like it was in 2010.
I went through an article by Office365 community, according to which for In-premises Exchange also we need to have office 365 account (can use trial account also) to get the downloader file for ExBPA 2013.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/deploy/office-365-best-practices-analyzer-for-exchange-server-2013.aspx
But to run the setup the servers needs to be connected to internet.
And, i don't want to expose my environment to internet in any condition.
Somebody, please suggest me if there is any setup available so that i can install directly without exposing to internet.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
K2

Welcome to Exchange 2013.
Exchange Server 2013 doesn't come with ExBPA for health check. This might help
http://exchangeserverpro.com/powershell-script-health-check-report-exchange-2010/
Apart from that you can run these commands too
Get-ServerHealth -Identity Exchange2013ServerName
Test-ServiceHealth

Enable legacy public folders for Exchange 2013 prior to migration?

We're about ready to migrate to Exchange 2013 from 2010. We have a public folder database on 2010 that users can't see once migrated to 2013. If I run through the commands according to the technet article "Configure legacy public folders where user
mailboxes are on Exchange 2013 servers" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690134(v=exchg.150).aspx), will users who's mailboxes are still on Exchange 2010 be able to see these public folders?

I know they've made alot of changes recently in how legacy public folders are handled in Exchange 2013 (mostly CU7), but I haven't had to do anything more than just setting the proper public folder database on the Exchange 2013 databases.
That being said, looking over the article you are not doing any moves, and it looks eerily similar to this blog post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/11/07/on-premises-legacy-public-folder-coexistence-for-exchange-2013-cumulative-update-7-and-beyond.aspx
So I don't think this would hurt Public Folder access for your users in your legacy environment.
Did you deploy CU7? If so, then do what both articles say. If not try using Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity <2013 db name> -PublicFolderDatabase <PF DB NAME>

Hi,
Fist, please check if there is an account which is Exchange Online-ApplicationAccount via ADUC.
By default, this account is disabled, please enable it and re-run Setup /PrepareAD again. It should success. After preparing AD schema, please disable the account again.

Configuring Lync Server 2013 to be a partner Application for Exchange 2013

Hello Guys,
I just want to share my experience while configuring Lync server 2013 to be a partner Application for exchange 2013 sever.
As mentioned on technet you need to run Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that ships with Exchange 2013.
But when I tried to run the script as described on the technet article, I found it always fails with " the accepted domain is not valid"
I have checked my accepted domains many times and i found that there's no issues with my configured accepted domain.
So I started to review the script to find the issue and I found that the script was configured as below
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain ;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
which is totally wrong as below:
firstly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the Name of the accepted domain.
Not all customers configure the name of the Accepted Domain to be the Domain Name.
Secondly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the name of the first Accepted Domain.
The first domain may be not the default Accepted Domain.
So I have configured the script as below
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ? {$_.Default -eq "True"} ;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains.DomainName;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
I hope This help.
Thanks

Run the EXE file after keeping all the files in same folder. It will extract all of the files in the same folder and then you will get the exe file in extracted folder. This is for the core BO server. For rest of the components like widgets you have to extract the file and manuallt run setup.exe.

I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and now I cannot open the iTunes store. It just sits there and says it's loading for hours, but does nothing.

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, and now the iTunes store won't open. It just sits there and says 'accessing iTunes store for hours, but does nothing.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -

(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Security Update for exchange 2013 SP1 (KB3040856) failed mid-way / power problem mailbox server disconnected

While applying todays security update for exchange 2013 (KB3040856) there was a power issue (sad story) and the update was interrupted halfway through. A bunch of service were left deactivated and I beleive I brought them back.
At this point the exchange admin center brings me to the login and when I do login, I get an enable to display page msg after the login.
I have an ActiveSync error log "cannot access the mailbox because the mail box server is disconnected" translated from french.
I also have ASP.NET 4.0 error "MapiExceptionMdbOffline"
What could be the next step in fixing this if it is at all possible ? I am not an expert in cmdlet but can manage if pointed in the right direction.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I ran update KB3040856, and it disabled all Exchange services, and a few others besides (IIS and filtering). I ran the test-servicehealth cmdlet and eventually got all the services set to automatic and all running.
This is really a stupid thing for an update to do, what is going on? Exchange 2013 is trouble enough already, we really do not need this sort of agro.

I just downloaded itunes, and when i go to music there are two options. You can either go to the itunes store or scan for media, and when I click on scan for media it does nothing. Help? (I tried deleting itunes and re-installing it but apparently itunes was still on my computer so it asked me if I wanted to just check and see if there were any issues or missing software, so I did that but i still had the same problem.)

Hi jbserious,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It doesn't sound like the iTunes software and its components installed completely. The article below will walk you through some troubleshooting steps. Is this your first time using iTunes, or do you have an iTunes library from another computer that you want to move to this one?

Is smb 3.0 already supported for exchange 2013

Hello,
We are looking to deploy exchange 2013. We have a netapp storage and vmware environment.
I was wondering if smb 3.0 is already supported for exchange 2013. I read in a blog of 2012 that it wasn't supported at the time. We would like to use it instead of a iscsi lun.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, it is still not supported for Exchange 2013 up to now.
