HI, Seem youre trying to install Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008.In most cases same issues happen when not disabled pv6 properly. You have a two options, 1) Enable Ip6 on NIC2) Disable Ipv6 perfectly To completely disable IPv6 on a Windows Server 2008-based computer, follow these steps: ========================================================================== Note:-Backup the Registry before do anychanges.1. Open Registry Editor. 2. Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters 3. In the details pane, click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value. 4. Type DisabledComponents, and then press ENTER. 5. Double-click DisabledComponents, and then type 0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal. Note the 0xffffffff value or the 4294967295 value disables all IPv6 components, except for the IPv6 loopback interface. RegardsChinthaka

HelloThank you for the quick reply. Yes the server is 2008 and IPV6 is turned off.Should I uninstall the Exchnage server?Thank you and best greetings from GermanyChris

HI, IS this Hub server running on separate server and running only Hub services? If this is running on Production server no need to uninstall and just disable IPv6as above postor Enable Ipv6, then rerun setup.If this is running in testing status you can go ahead with clean installation.RegardsChinthaka

HiYou're the Best!Thank you and best greetings from GermanyChris
