Trying to Install Exchange 2013 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2 but getting an error on mailbox role install

On Step 1 of 7, the "Mailbox role: Client Access service," I got an error during installing:

Any advice please !!

I can't answer your question but I had a similar issue when I was trying to move our mailbox database off the C: drive. Our environment still has an Exchange 2007 server in it and when I was trying to move the database on the 2013 server, I would get
error messages saying the database does not exist. It seemed like it was trying to move the database on the 2007 server from the similar error messages that I was getting. To get around it, I deleted the database and created a new one on the drive
where we wanted it.
I discovered this when I was configuring the Antispam settings. I deleted our 2007 settings, added them to the 2013 shell, the settings appeared on our 2007 server. The shell on 2013 was making changes to 2007.
I'm not sure if there is a "Get|Set or New" command that I/we should be using when this happens. Or maybe my issues will be fixed if I just remove the Exchange 2007 server? I'm not ready to do that yet because I can't configure the spam filtering
on 2013 yet with its shell not being able to make the changes that we need.
I don't know if your environment is in coexistence mode like mine.
Hopefully someone else out there has an answer or can tell us when/how the shell can make the appropriate changes to the 2013 server. Does this happen after the 2007 server is removed?

Exchange 2013 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - BSOD after DAG creation

Hi,
We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 RU13 on Windows 2003 R2 with SP2 in a 2003 native AD environment and recently decided to upgrade to Exchange 2013. We installed a pair of new DELL R420 servers running Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise then threw Exchange 2013 SP1
onto them. This all went fine and the servers are running stable.
We connected the second NIC of each server to the other via a separate switch, the second NIC has Client for MS Networks and File/Printer Sharing disabled plus a totally separate subnet with no DNS or GW address assigned. DAG setup was run and completed
OK. I created the DAG network in Exchange and enabled replication, I also left replication enabled across the production LAN. Finally, I went into the advanced network settings and made sure the replication network was below the production network in the binding
order.
After an hour or two the BSOD's started.. both servers would crash within a few minutes of each other and reboot with a Kernel Panic. I have attached the contents of the dump file below. This seems to happen every few hours and it always seems to be the
server hosting the passive DB copies crashes first, followed by the server hosting the active copies. Note that if we disable the replication NIC on both servers they do not crash.
I got the impression from somewhere that perhaps the servers had mixed up the binding order and were trying to use the replication network as primary, losing access to AD and rebooting (which I have read is the behaviour for Exchange now). It appears the
Exchange Health service has killed WININIT which causes the crash.
Thanks!!!
The crash dump text is below:

Hi Darrkon,
I suggest checking the status of the HealthMailbox on each of servers.
Also try to re-create the mailbox. You can safely delete and recreate health mailboxes.
Be aware that any local Managed Availability probes that are using the these mailboxes will fail until the Microsoft Exchange Health Manager is restarted. Once that service is restarted, it will recreate any mailboxes that it needs.
More details in the following similar thread, just for your reference:

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1 on Windows Server 2012??????? What am I missing?

Hi there,
As per MS - SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1 is compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed - now it does not let me install SharePoint 2013 Enterprise (Standard without SP1).
AND SP1 can ONLY be installed AFTER SharePoint 2013 Enterprise is installed.
So how to install SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with SP1 on Windows Server 2012?
Thanks.

You can download it at the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center:
https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx
or at the Microsoft Developer Network:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
Please note that if you do not have access to either, you will have to work with the vendor who sold you SharePoint 2013 to get you a new ISO with SP1, or you will have to find a way to make a slipstreamed version on your own. I'm really hoping you
have VLSC or MSDN access, as this will make things much easier for you.

Guideline of installing remote desktop services in window server 2012 r2

Hi,
I tried to install remote desktop services in window server 2012, I joined my current domain ( in window server 2003).
During installation, it require me to promote my server to domain controller? This is one of the requirement for remote desktop services?
If I didnt join any domain, it prompt me I must join a domain.
Anyone can advise me? provide me a steps by steps guide will be perfect!
Thanks

Hi GP_IT001,
In your current network do you currently have a domain controller? You mentioned that you "had" a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2003.
Am I correct in thinking that you no longer have this server?
As this article mentions:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f3d0543a-edab-4eb2-8360-3658a3351bb0/licensing-issue?forum=winserverTS
You will need a domain environment which means you'll need a server that is a domain controller, and I believe that it will also need to operate Windows Server 2012 or above. You could, if you wanted, setup a new server (virtual or physical) as a domain
controller and use that if you wish.

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that this issue (C drive gets always full) occurred after Exchange
Server 2013 installed.
à
But my exchange server is installed in different Drive (EX: D)
I suggest that you should check file system to see what folders or files are taking up the space recently.
This issue may be not related to Exchange server.
Please refer to the following article and enable Disk Cleanup Utility. Then monitor the result.

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!

SharePoint 2013 RTM on Windows Server 2012 R2

Will SharePoint 2013 RTM trial which is available at following link, work on Windows Server 2012 R2?
Or do I need SharePoint 2013 SP1 slipstream?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-sharepoint-server-2013

You need the slipstreamed version. You cannot install RTM on 2012 R2.
(Note: it's not technically slipstreamed but yes, it is the SP1 media that you use and slipstreamed is a commonly misused term for it)

[SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

Hi there!
I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.
LOGS on the second nodes:

UPD:
when Exchange servers ran on the same Hyper-V node, the DAG is working well, but if I move one of VM to another node, It stops working.
I have installed Wireshark and captured trafic of cluster interface. When DAG members on the same HV-node, there is inbound and outbound traffic on the cluster interface, but if I move one of DAG member to another node, in Wireshark I see only outbound traffic
on both nodes.
It's confused me, because there is normal connectivity between these DAG members through the main interface.
Please, help me if you can.

Hi, Jared! Thank you for the reply.
Of course I did it already :) I have new info:

How to upgrade Exchange 2013 host OS to Server 2012 R2

Currently in our environment we have Exchange 2013 (Client Access and Mailbox on one server) (no service pack) built on Server 2012 machine. I'd like to rebuild the Exchange server on a new Server 2012 R2 machine. Are there any automated tools for transferring
client access configuration(accepted domains, connectors, etc) and can I just unmount the databases from the current server and mount them on the new, or do i have to create new mailbox databases and migrate the mailboxes? Do you guys know any tutorials for
this scenario? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You need to setup a new Exchange 2013 SP1 or later version on Windows server 2012 R2 at first.
Secondly, migrate all the mailboxes from old Exchange 2013 to the new Exchange 2013.
Thirdly, change the mail flow.
At last, when everything is ok on new Exchange 2013, you can decommission the old Exchange.
For more information, here is a thread about migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 for your reference.

How to install RDP CALs pack on Windows Server 2012 R2 (member of NT domain)

OS: Windows Server 2012R2 (64-bit), member of NT (Samba 3) domain.
Task: install RDP CAL pack, to allow connecting above its default 3 sessions limit.
Problem: when setting up RDP licensing/other required service, I came to a problem: RDP access broker service requires AD type of domain to be installed.
The server is part of NT (Samba 3) domain and we have no intention to change domain type only to satisfy an auxiliary service.
Is it possible to enable additional RDP CALs on Windows Server 2012 R2 without mandatory joining an AD? The license control available up to Windows Server 2008 has been removed from Windows Server 2012, I can't bypass installing broker and the rest of related
services.
Thank you for any information.

Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I was trying to setup a new DC for our company, originally it's DC is Windows Server 2003 SP2, we decided not tomigrate it and instead build a new one from scratch which is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I was able to set it up, perform windows updates,
added roles, perform Domains and Trusts, etc
When suddenly our global standards shifted to Windows Server 2012 R2, so instead of creating another server from scratch, this is the time to upgrade from 2k8 to 2K12 R2, besides the MAPtool which I've downloaded to check for prerequisites, etc, are there
other things I need to be aware of? backups? etc.
Regards,
Jeff
