Error Installing Exchange 2016

Hello, My attempt to install Exchange 2016 on Server 2016 following your instructions failed. My Domain Admin account apparently doesn't have the needed rights and permissions, so I'll follow the links indicated to read up on that. I find it odd that it says near the end that the Forest functional level is not Windows Server 2003 native or later, and "Either Active Directory doesn't exist, or it can't be contacted.' My Domain and Forest functional Levels are both "Windows Server 2008 R2." My main concern is the part that I underlined below: "No Exchange Server 2010 roles have ...

Hello All: I am hoping that someone can help me fix a couple of problems that I am having with integrating Windows Server 2012 R2 with Office 365 and starting the DNS service on my server.

Essentials 2016 to Server Standard 2022 Migration Chapter 8 Step 2 Failing

I've been unable to get the Server Essentials Role uninstalled. The PowerShell command starts the process and it looks like it's running fine but at some point (the last time was 57%) it hangs for a long period of time with no activity then fails for a timeout stating that the process didn't complete in the time allotted. I'm not seeing any entries in the Application or System log that indicate a problem. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is it possible just to bypass this step? Should I try running it from the Roles removal? ...

Essentials Connector stays grey - cannot connect to 2016 server

Windows 10 1709 clients and Server 2016 Standard with Essentials Role. DirectAccess is configured on the server, but these clients are directly connected to the network (same subnet as server). The Connector installed without problems a few days ago and immediately after install, the connector was green and a manual client backup initiated from the Essentials console worked fine. Now it stays grey, indicating the server is unavailable/offline ... even though network shares are accessable. Laptops connecting through DirectAccess show online in the Essentials console, while all the IPv4 connected workstations are showing as offline. Maybe this is IPv6 related? ...

Essentials Dashboard not deleting or ignoring alerts

When I delete or ignore an alert on the essentials dashboard (Server 2016 Essentials with latest updates), it has a loading bar that never completes.   I found another related question at:  https://server-essentials.com/community/answers/essentials-dashboard-not-ignoring-or-deleting-some-health-alerts This does clear the alerts until one is generated again, but does not fix the problem where alerts cannot be deleted or ignored from the dashboard.

essentials management service not able to start.

Hi, I have moved the WSE 2016 from a physical computer to a virtual machine, and then upgraded the OS to be Server Standard maintaining the Essentials Experience.  It was working, but now the Essentials management service will not start with an error 1067.  There are faults in the event log related to .NET and sharedserviceshost, but that doesn't really tell me much.  The backup service also crashes.  Could this be a VM related setting?  It has plenty of assigned memory and CPU I believe.

Event id 10009

I'm cleaning up a SBS2011 server for migration to Server 2016 with Essentials role.  I've got a System error 10009. DCOM was unable to communicate with TempDC.local, which was a temp DC from a swing migration years ago.  Is it essential to get this cleaned up now and will it cause any issues if I do it after the migration?

Exch 2016 Internal and external URL with sbs 2011 coexistence

The internal/external URL on sbs 2011 is aready mail.domain.com. Is it safe to assume that the exch 2016 internal/external urls shouldn't match? Also, at what point do I change the incoming smtp and ssl ports to point to the new server? i had 600GB of mail to migrate so thus coexistence needs to be intact for a while.
