Below is a common error that comes up when

you install Exchange 2007 Server on a
Windows 2008 Server. The hub transport
role
fails with an error MsExchange transport
failed to reach status running on this server.
Mailbox & CAS installations are cancelled as
well, if it is a typical exchange 2007
installation.

Reason: By default, IPV6 is enabled on a Windows 2008

server and you have disabled it in the network
connections properties, but not fully.

Solution is to enable IPV6 in NIC properties, but disable

IPV6 in registry and re-run the setup.

To disable IPV6 fully on the 2008 server. Follow the steps

to do so.

Launch registry, navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetSe
rvicesTcpip6Parameters. In the details pane, click New,
and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value. Type
DisabledComponents (without quotes) and then press
enter. Double-click DisabledComponents and type
0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal.
Close the registry editor.

Now, navigate to C:WindowsSystem32DriversEtc and

open the hosts file in notepad. Delete the IPV6 entry.

Hi NorDemoniac,
This is because, if you uncheck IPv6 in the
NIC properties, it is still enabled for all
tunnel interfaces & is not fully disabled.
Hence, the registry edit to disable IPv6
completely on all interfaces.
