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.

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

I just did a fresh install of Server 2019 and Exchange 2019 and every URL redirects to Window Admin Center. I type in https://<server>/ecp --> redirects to Admin Center, I type in https://<server>/foo redirects to Admin Center.

This is a canned install and nothing seems to work to get me into the Exchange Server Manager.
Any advice would be awesome.

Thanks!

  We did just update our recent blog with some advice about WAC - sorry it was a bit late for this case. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Exchange-Team-Blog/Installing-Exchange-Server-2019-on-Windows-Server-2019-Core/ba-p/609406
