Exchange 2010: installation error

I experienced few errors while installing exchange 2010 on test bed. I reckon, I should share the resolution with you guys testing exchange 2010…

hub transport role fails to install

The execution of: “$error.Clear(); if($RoleStartTransportService) { start-SetupService -ServiceName MSExchangeTransport }”, generated the following error: “Service ‘MSExchangeTransport’ failed to reach  status ‘Running’ on this server.”

Cause: TCP/IP6 disabled or unchecked on TCP/IP properties of windows 2008 server.

Resolution: If you are not using tcp/ip6 then disable TCP/IP6 permanently to resolve the issue. To completely disable IPv6 on a Windows Server 2008, follow these steps:

1. Start menu>run>regedit.exe>ok
2. HKLM>system>CurrentControlSet>Services>tcpip6>parameters
3. Right Click on Parameters>New>DWORD (64-bit) value
4. Type DisabledComponents, and then press ENTER.
5. Double-click DisabledComponents and then type 0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal
6. Reboot server
