insider Server + Exchange 2016
Has anyone had any luck installing exchange 2016 on an insider build? I just setup a basic test domain, and when installing exchange server it fails configuring pre-requisites. Windows defender ...
Exchange 2016 requires the full installation of Windows Server (in 2016, it's called Desktop Experience), and isn't explictly supported for installation on Server Core.
Yeah, I just got bit by that same issue, just a bit late.
Server version 1709 (which was probably what you were testing on) no longer includes the Desktop Experience code in the box.
Which begs the question - Whither, Exchange? I mean, now that it seems Desktop is "passe" on Server.
