Hi, Why installing Exchange 2010 with SP1 instead of SP2? Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28190 This Exchange Server 2010 SP2 software may be used to perform a new installation or to update an existing Exchange Server 2010 installation to Service Pack 2 (SP2) level.

Hi Terence, Tried it 2 times on a fresh installed vm after starting setup he immidiatly comes up with the message that the system is in an consolite state and can only be recovered with the command setup /m:recoverserver to bad that this one also failes on the MBX role, strange thing is that the log dir is empty still. Something i did not try yet, (maybe the weekend) I tried it every time true the VmWare sphere console client, not true RDP. Could that be an issue? I am running windows 7 64Bit> I will try in the up comming (longer) weekend an new install true RDP and let you know the outcome! Thanks! Patrick

Hi Maybe some broken AD objects cause this issue. Can you install test AD and install exchange 2010 on the same server?( just test. I should confirm AD and exchange CD media)Terence Yu TechNet Community Support

okay requested a few hours off and tested again; again immidiatly after install all pre's and starting up the gui of setup the warning that the server is in inconsitency and i need to do the same recovery procedure: If i want to test it on the VM AD server i need to adjust diskspace, other option is to build a new DC and try it on that one, but what can you make of the outcome? below the last part of the log of that.

Hi Terence, Sorry to keep you all waiting, but good news, i finally gave up and reinstalled the whole VMware machine, and then step by step installed a new DC, finally today after more then a week of having no free time... I installed a new VM and made sure it was up2date, finally one error when installing Exchange, and that was from a previous update. After the reboot it runned smoothly, I asume a failing DC was the end of my biggest errors... To be honest i hope i help someone with this post, which gave me the info " do not over speed a decent install of server(s) it will bite you in the end! Cheers all and thanks again for thinking with me! Patrick
