Migrating SBS 2011 Exchange to Exchange 2019. I am having issues installing Exchange 2016.
- I have created a temporary virtual server, Exch-Temp and it is a member server.
- Exch-Temp is running Windows Server 2016 standard. - windows update has been run several times.
- Ran the power shell script - InstallDependenciesExchangeServer2016.ps1
- Had to manually download and install .NET Framework 4.7.1 as well as Unified Communications Managed API 4.0 Run-time.
- I have downloaded Exchange Server 2016 CU12
During my first attempt to install Exchange I received an error - "A hybrid deployment with Office 365 has been detected."
Here is a link to an article that outlines very well the error I received and the need to create a MyTenantOrganizationConfig.XML file.
To create this xml file, I did the following:
- From an evelvated Powershell window
- Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
- $UserCredential = Get-Credential - used my personal O365 user credentials as I am a global admin
- Get-OrganizationConfig | Export-Clixml -Path C:\MyTenantOrganizationConfig.XML
From an elevated cmd window I ran the following command after mounting the Exchange iso. In my case that was drive E:
e:\Setup.exe /mode:Install /r:MB /PrepareAD /TenantOrganizationConfig c:\MyTenantOrganizationConfig.XML /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
This produced an error message – “'preparead' parameter cannot be combined with the mode parameter or with other prepare parameters.
Setup checks failed: Invalid command line arguments.
I then modified the command to be this:
e:\Setup.exe /PrepareAD /TenantOrganizationConfig c:\MyTenantOrganizationConfig.XML /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
I have attached a few different files. EX-Intall.txt files are the redirected output from the CMD window. As well I have attached two ExhangeSetup.log files. One from my first and second attempt.
