The_Exchange_Team LukasSMSFT 

I know this was release sometime ago and this is not a support forum. Just wanted bring the common issue (as per what I see) to awareness. The new CU14 failed with "/mode:recoverserver". I need to recover a server in the prod and always hitting error at the stage "Mailbox role: Front End Transport service", I tried in vm with just a dc and a exchange server and I get the exact error.
