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