Hi,

I'm trying to get an initial install of Exchange Server 2013 trial on Windows 2008 R2 and I keep getting stuck because when it checks the prereqs, it says I need KB 974405 (Identity Foundation).  I tried installing the Identity Foundations 6.1 msu but that doesn't seem to satisfy the Exchange installer?

Can anyone tell me how I can get Exchange installed?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi,

This is the message from the installer:

Error: This computer requires the update described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB974405 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=262357). Please install the update, and then restart Setup. For more information, visit: http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.Win7WindowsIdentityFoundationUpdateNotInstalled.aspx

But when i go to that link, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=262357, I get:

Also, this page:

https://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.Win7WindowsIdentityFoundationUpdateNotInstalled.aspx

just says "Sorry, but we haven't added content for this Exchange 2013 readiness check yet. However, we're gathering feedback that will help us add the most relevant content to this topic. Please take a minute to send us feedback about the information you were hoping to find."
