Exchange 2019 Server: No access to ECP Interface - always get redirected to Windows Admin Center

Hi community,

 

fresh install of Exchange 2019 mailbox Server on Windows Server 2019 Standard. Cannot access https://localhost/ecp, always end up in "Windows Admin Center". This really sucks for an out of the box install.

 

Any Advice?

Thanks, Gernot

  • WAC makes a total mess of the bindings on the machine you install it, so I wouldn't recommend doing so on any server that has any sort of IIS-dependent application. And the best part is that even if you uninstall WAC, it doesn't properly clean up, at least it didn't the last time I run into this issue.

      Hello Vasil,

       

      Thanks a lot for your input, could not agree more. However, since I certainly did not install WAC, I suspect the Exchange 2019 setup having installed it, will investigate further. Yes, uninstalling that junk does not do any good, the bindings are screwed beyond repair.

      Regards,

      Gernot

        I can tell you for certain that the Exchange 2019 setup doesn't install it :)
