Exchange 2019 mgmt tools vs. Windows 10

Running an isolated test environment with restored domain controllers and exchange 2016 CU19 to test bringing in exchange 2019 for a migration. Exchange was installed earlier this week on 2019 server core.

Built a new windows 10 20H2 system on that same network and installed the prerequisites but still fails in the readiness checks stating it can't access the registry. Both the remote registry service and tcp/ip netbios helper services are running. File/printer sharing are enabled; ran setup elevated with my domain admin account. No surprise that sfc/dism scans returned no issues since it was just built today. Firewall profiles are disabled.

There is a 'more info' link which, of course, takes you to a page that says they haven't added content for that subject yet.

to take it a step further, the setup log states that it tried to run 'get-exchangeserver' with the identity option as my windows 10 machine and returns the error that it searched for my computer name as type 'server' and the domain controller said the object doesn't exist. The computer account is fine; i have removed and added back to the domain but didn't make a difference. also tried running as the domain administrator with the same result.

anyone get this to work or know why it throws that error?

Hi @SethSimmons-2869 ,

If you have disabled SMB v1, you may suffer this error, please check it with this cmdlet(PowerShell):

 Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol

You'll could enable it first and try installing.

 Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol

How to remove SMB v1

Also run the prerequisite cmdlets on PowerShell:

 Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-ManagementScriptingTools,IIS-ManagementScriptingTools,IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility,IIS-LegacySnapIn,IIS-ManagementConsole,IIS-Metabase,IIS-WebServerManagementTools,IIS-WebServerRole

1) where is that documented?
2) what would SMB v1 have anything to do with this? It's insecure and disabled by default; makes no sense how that could be a factor here.

Also run the prerequisite cmdlets on PowerShell:

Already installed the prerequisites it asked for which is only the IIS metabase. I tried the tools on a different 2019 server with a GUI and had the same prerequisites and installed fine there. Don't know why the same thing doesn't work in Windows 10.

Hi @SethSimmons-2869 ,

So sorry for the delay of this reply.
I've seen an article about a same error and fixed by enabling SMB v1 and disable it after the installation.

Could you find the Object "DESKTOP-55BFV13" in ADUC? DC -> Server Manager -> Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers -> Computers
I think you could try to remove this object and re-join domain to test.

Also I'm now trying to deploy a environment to test this.

Best regards,
Lou

yes the object exists in AD

Hi @SethSimmons-2869 ,

Then could you ping DC from the Windows 10 server?

If it's a test lab, I think you could try install a new Windows 10 and try again.

Lou
