Installation problem Exchange 07 SP1 on Server 2008 (tries to activate Edge Transport)
I am doing a simple install, Exchange 07 SP1 on Server 2008 Enterprise 64bit. It will be a single box, domain controller/file server/exchange server for less than 20 people. No edge transport, just anonymous mail forwarded through SPAM Assassin and our firewall. During the setup it tries to activate edge transport while installing the Hub Transport and ultimately the whole installation fails. I have done the same setup on Server 2003 with Exchange 2007 RTM and never noticing anything like that happen, ultimately that installation succeeded though. Here are some screen shots of the critical stages of the installation failure. I have tried reinstallation of the entire OS and even installation on a virtual machine and on another server. Any thoughts??? This error I know I can fix afterwards with a simple change, but I can never get past the next part... Screen Shot 1 I dont know why its trying to start edge transport, but it hangs here for 10 minutes Starting Edge Transport Ultimately I get this error, and the whole installation fails... Failure Please help!!!

Does it roll back after failing or still install something ?Can you manually try to start the service and then try re-install ? Anymore info in setup logs on c drive c:\ExchangeSetupLogs ?

Is IPV6 disabled ? I believe it is required to install exchange 2007 on W2k8 see below http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2863496&SiteID=17 I've seen another post with similar errors (altho it's hyper-v etc) http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2758691&SiteID=17 Do you have the required RAM assigned for exchange 2007 ? HTH ! niamh
