Exchange Server 2019 Installation Fails with too many prerequisites check errors!
Hi Brain Trust,
I'm trying to install Exchange 2019 server to replace my current Exchange 2013 server. I have all required permissions (Schema Admin, Enterprise Admin, Organization Management etc etc..) in the current environment and the Domain, Forest Functional levels are 2012 R2 as well. When I'm trying to run the exchange setup, the prerequisite check fails with a load of errors!
Our AD environment is very simple. Single domain with about 6 DCs.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
